Urgent Problem: Authentication Error

[Guest Ole Weigelt]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a 2008 environment.

 

Now, our WTS crashed and I restored a backup made in May (which is no

problem since we have pretty stable program releases).

 

But when I try to log on, I get the message : An authentication error

occurred: 0x80090304

 

What can that be? If I do not get over this problem, all my backups are for

nothing.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks a lot

 

Ole

Just a couple thoughts,

 

Is this server in a A/D domain or just a local TS server?

 

If it is an A/D domain, it may be that it is unable to

communicate with the domain controller.

 

Are you trying to logon to the console or an RDP session?

If RDP session, try to logon directly to the console and

see if you can get into the Event Viewer.

You made my day!

 

It was failing communication with the AD server. Re-entring the domain was

the key.

 

Thank you for your help!!

Glad I could help. Gotta love it when the wild stab in the

dark hits the mark.
