- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- Windows NT Advanced Server may not be able to log in a user if the
- NetLogon service is not running on the system. Although the initial
- login screen is displayed, if you attempt to login, you may receive a
- message indicating that Windows NT Advanced Server was unable to
- validate the user because the NetLogon service is not running or
- started.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- One of the reasons for the NetLogon service not starting could be due
- to the presence of a duplicate Windows NT Advanced Server computer
- name on the network.
-
- Another cause could be incorrect settings for the NIC card.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- Disconnect the Windows NT Advanced Server computer from the network.
- It should now be possible to successfully log in to Windows NT
- Advanced Server. Change the computer name using the Network icon in
- the Control Panel.
-
- Other causes may require reinstallation.
