Level: Critical Error
Category: Security
Description: The PSA was unable to communicate with a Primary Domain Controller
(PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) (if one is set up) to verify the user's name
and password. This means that clients will not be allowed to print because a Domain
Controller was not available to verify the user's name and password.
Action:
●
Check your WINS server, domain controllers, routers, and other network
infrastructure to verify proper set up and operation. Are they plugged in and turned
on?
●
If you specified automatic discovery of the domain controllers on the
Microsoft
Network Settings
page (in the web interface under Networking), try changing to a
list of specific domain controllers on that same page.
●
If the DNS server, WINS server, or Domain Controller is not on the same subnet as
the PSA, ensure that the TCP/IP configurations, as entered on the
TCP/IP and
DNS
page (in the web interface under Networking), are configured correctly and
that the network infrastructure, such as the default gateway, is configured and is
operational.
●
If the problem persists, try specifying the list of Domain Controllers using IP
addresses instead of NetBIOS or DNS names.
