Flaky Active Directory

[pebbert9]

Hello,

I have two servers connected remotely via VPN.

The Active Directory Server is behind a computer running Wingate, the remote server is running Wingate itself. ( Latest version )

I can ping, and browse files on the AD Server. But more often than not, the remote server isn't getting credentials properly on login and is using cached credentials.

When I try to set permissions on folders on the remote server using domain users, I can't because the permission tab doesn't see the AD domain.

This has been intermittent, but is getting worse.

I have tried lowing the MTU, but that didn't help.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

You need to establish whether this is a connection problem with the VPN / Internet / Routing.

Also check it is not an AD DNS problem; for example:

1. What is set for this remote servers DNS server - I would expect it to have the AD DNS Server set on it's network card so it can find domain specific resources - such as where to login to the domain.

2. If there is a DNS server installed in the Joiners (remote) location where WinGate is installed, can you confirm the following registry entry is set to 0?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Qbik Software\WinGate\Services\DNS Service\"Startup"
