I keep getting "Cannot find Primary Domain Controller" from a member server in a domain when I log in with the Domain Admin password. What could be the cause?
 
A myriad of items could be wrong here. Network connectivity (make sure you can ping the server) or missing WINS information (Wins is the IP to Netbios name resolution). If all else fails, make and entry in you lmhosts table for that server with it's domain info.
 
Yah, ping it, first. No ping? Check the nic and cables. Do you have a green light on the card and at the hub? Got the latest driver for your network card?<br>
<br>
If pings ok, then check the protocols. Remove and re-add TCP/IP if necessary and re-service pack the box.<br>
<br>
Also make sure your domain name is correct and the user name is correct.
