Guest Jim in Cleveland Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 We are running a Windows 2003 domain. We have two Windows 2003 server as our domain controllers. While looking at some group policies, the following message came up on the backup up DC: "The XXXX.org forest could not be loaded and will be removed. The error message was: The server is not operational." There is an OK button attached to this message. We're afraid that if we click OK, something destructive is going to happen. But the OK button is the only option presented. Can someone tell me what this error message means and will something destructive happen to our domain if we try to click out of this? Jim
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Strange error message Hello Jim, First i would check that replication works. Run dcdiag /v, netdiag /v, repadmin /showreps to check for errors. Also post errors from the event viewer if you have some.
