W2K3- Logon Error -Domain Issue

[james777]

Hi All,

I tried logging into W2K3 server, after entering username/password. it gives a message password is incorrect or checks username , domain name..
Very positive that my username/password are correct.
I installed paragon utility to see the NTFS file system from Win98. Below is one of the log description.

Anyone please help what might be the problem.

<FrsSetServiceStatus: 1584: 434: S0: 22:26:36> :SC: SetServiceStatus(State 4, CheckPoint 0, Hint 30000, ExitCode 0) succeeded

It looks like your server is not a Domain Controller, so you will not be able to authenticate remotely with login credentials, but you should be able to acess network shares from remote clients.

If you want to promote your Windows Server 2003 to a domain controller, you'll need to run 'dcpromo' on that server.

Because of thie domain Issue. I am not able to logon to server at all. Is there a way to fix this.

james777,

By "not able to logon to server at all", do you mean that you can't logon to the server locally? What do you mean by "domain issue"? Is this server a member of a domain?

I can not even logon to server after booting up the machine. I got win98/w2k3 on same machine. I use w2k3 as standalone machine either i logon to win98/w2k3. It's not on a network. Recently i installed Active directory and uninstalled it again successfully. I sent the above log after logging on win98 ( i can see NTFS from win98), from directory( \windows\debug\ntrfs... file ) on w2k3.

Thanks
James

james777,

I was under the impression that you were referring to two different computers, but you have one computer that is dual-boot.

At one point you could log into the Windows Server 2003 installation and you installed and removed Active Directory. Now you are unable to log in.

You could certainly attempt to boot Windows Server 2003 in Directory Restore Mode, which is the equivalent of Safe Mode, but if you continue to have problems authenticating with user name and password, you may need to reinstall.

Are you using an evaluation version of Windows Server 2003 ny any chance?

Thank You Wishdiak . I downloaded from Microsoft msdn and i guess w2k3 is not an evaluation version. I will to restore using Safe Mode..
