title: How to enable a logon server (Windows Server 2008 R2) for logon requests?
body: <p>I just started a new job where the previous Network Administrator left approx. 3 months ago and left me with extremely minimal information.  I have an account within the domain with administrator rights as well as several of the servers local administrator accounts/passwords.</p>
  
  <p>Today there was not going to be anyone in the office, so I decided to do a test and do a power cycle on the servers.  Prior to executing this, I created VMWare Snapshots of the virtualized servers.</p>
  
  <p>Upon rebooting I found that I could not login to any accounts; it was saying that "There are currently no logon Servers are available to service the logon request"</p>
  
  <p>I quickly restored the virtual machines to their state prior to the power cycle, but I am still unable to login. I get the same error.  When I login to a local account, I can ping the Domain Controller and when I check the Domain Controller the Active Directory services appear to be running.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> Users that were logged in prior to the powercycle do not seem to be effected.
  <strong>Example:</strong> My laptop was logged in and I have full access to all the network resources.</p>
