Logon Error from KB 824302

[Guest E-Double]

A standalone Win2000 Pro/sp4 machine cannot be logged on to either in normal

or safe mode as the error "The system cannot log you on now because the

domain xxx is not available" as detailed in KB Article 824302. I contacted

MS Support and they sent me two .EXE files that apparently fix the problem,

but how are these fixes supposed to be run if the machine cannot be logged on

to? The Readme.txt file just says to refer to the KB article - which does

not really have instructions. I also tried booting to a CD but they would

not run that way either. In addition I remotely edited the registry from

another machine changing the WinLogonCache value to 0, as well as manually

copied all of the DLL's from the KB article from a functional machine to the

problem machine, but to no avail. Any help on this one would be greatly

appreciated.

You'll have to ask PS when you can them back. Did they recommend the

reghacks and file replacements in the manner you describe?

No, the file replacement thing I just tried on my own after reviewing the KB

article and the reghack was a suggestion from a forum I found where the

person had the same problem. The person from MS did not speak english very

well and did not seem like a technical person but rather an administrative

front line support person so I did not get too far there.

Well the free support option is probably out of bounds now.

Why would that be - I did not make the issue any worse, and there has to be

some sort of fix for this problem as it appears I am not the only one who has

experienced it.

p.s. And I don't think that actually supplying instructions for the hotfixes

they sent would have been asking for too much there. Somebody else suggested

booting to a PE CD and then running the hotfixes, but when we tried that we

received an 'Update.inf file not available.'

I don't see how you could possibly know that. You'll just have to ask them

when you call back; but I wouldn't mention the reghack and files you

swapped.
