Re: Unable logon as Domain User??

I had Windows NT Domain controller server with static IP assign. I had a WinXP pro with sp1 pc
need to configure to logon as domain user but it's failed. Both of server and workstation able to ping each other. Error "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed." Please help on this and mant thanks.

Check the domain listed on the XP system when it tries to log in. My guess is, it is different than your actual domain name. Just change it.

 

User had logon to correct domain name. I had tried to logon on

as workgroup and connected to server without problem. I could

not able to add domain user to administrator group as well. I

believed that the problem is from the NT4 server. Orther

workstation which is using Win95 and win98 are working

perfectly. Please advise and many thanks.

Make sure XP firewall is turned off.

 

Firewall Disabled

No firewall is activated. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In network properties, is the XP PC a member of either the domain you are trying to log on to or another domain that has a proper trust relationship with that domain?

 

I had only one single NT4 DC and with 3 win98se PC + 1 WinXP

PC. Isn't due to NT4 Server Problem????

 

Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Under the Computer Name tab, change the PC from domain membership to a workgroup. Doesn't matter which workgroup.

Reboot.

Do the above again but move it from the workgroup to the domain. This will establish a completely new SID (security ID) with the domain controller and even though the computer name will look the same to you, to the domain controller it is a completely new machine.

That should fix things up.

 

Thanks for your solution provided,

I had tired it but it's failed. Any idea???

 

I don't know if this will help or not, but i had the exact same problem you are having. Like you i tried all of the aforementioned steps and several others along the way. Today I was able to add my misbehavin laptop to the company domain. It turned out that I had Norton personel firewall enabled. Once I configured the appropiate trusted zones, I was able to add it to the domain.
