Windows 2000 Server question
on: September 15, 2006, 05:08:30 pm
Ok, I just recently installd and attempted to configure Windows 2000 Server. Although I am something of a n00b when it comes to servers, I was able to get the DNS working ok. The problem is with the DHCP (and also netlogon).


Once I was able to get it to release an IP address (and I am still not sure how I did that), and so I tried to login on a workstation with the network account I created (and yes, the computer is in the Active Directory). However, it wouldn't work and in the event viewer I got an error message saying that the computer "failed to authenticate. access is denied". I'm not really sure what the deal is with that.

But when I restarted the workstation, it requested an IP address from the DHCP service, but one was never released. Why is it ignoring these requests?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Is the DHCP Server authorised? If not you'll never get an IP address out of it. Run the DHCP control panel and check.

Ok, I think I've gotten it to work. Appearently AD just got a bit fubared earlier.


Different question: How do I up the limit on how many accounts I can create on one domain, or is that possible? I thought Windows 2000 Server had an unlimited client limit, yet now that my client number is 10, everytime I try and add more I get that error. What's the deal?

Unless you're running into client or server licensing issues I have no idea what could be causing you that problem. What error are you getting?

I found the problem. There is a limit of 10 clients on Windows 2000 Server, but it is not hard coded. It's just a default setting, and after doing some research I found a way around it. Next project, getting the clients to use the internet.........

Are you talking about RAS connections? Cause I don't recall running into that problem myself on standard networked AD connections.

No, it's not a remote server, it's just a standard setup. There is actually something in the Knowledge Base about this, but I can't be bothered to find it right now.
