Windows Terminal Server Always Contacts PDC

ID: Q229789

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 4.0, 4.0 SP4, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When logging on at the console of a Windows Terminal Server computer or when using the Terminal Server client, Windows Terminal Server sends a netlogon datagram to the PDC querying for the PDC and opens a SAMR pipe and makes several LSA calls. This traffic should not be directly calling the PDC and should use any DC in the domain.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
