Group policy errors on Terminal Services

[zack]

Hi,

We are running terminal services on a windows 2003 member server, with
windows server 2003 r2 on our domain controller. I removed Client for
microsoft networks, in an attempt to sort another problem out. On
reboot I re-installed. On the DC I am getting this error "The dns
server has encountered a critical error from the active directory: ID
4015 . and 4004 : The dns server was unable to complete directory
service enumeration of sone sunnyfield.local. Our local users are
logging on fine. On the terminal server, Group policy is not being
applied and this event is being logged. 1053: Windows cannot determine
the user or computer name.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks

You do need the Client for Microsoft Networks both on Terminalservers
and Domain Controllers. Where did you remove it? Did you reinstall it
on the same system after removal? Did you reboot after the
reinstallation? Have the errors appeared after a reboot after the
reinstallation?

I have re-installed on the DC. And it was only removed on the DC. I
just noticed that the DNS service was not started , I manually started
it and its up now. On the terminal server I am still getting GP errors
though. Event ID 1030 Windows Cannot query for the list of Group
policy objects.

Thanks

The errors on the TS are probably due to that fact that it still
thinks it cannot contact the DC. A reboot of the TS should help.
