Today we had a strange problem; the diskless nodes were not booting into our WIN 2003 server. On scrutiny it was found that the TFTP service was not started.
If you don't know how to restart the TFTP Daemon service, (Click on Start button, click on Administrative tools, click on Services, scroll down till you find Trivial FTP Daemon, right click on it and click on Start)
But we got an error like : Could not start the terminal FTP Daemon service on local computer. Error 1069: Service did not start due to login failure.
We did change the WIN 2003 server password a few days earlier. Because the error mentioned something about login failure we suspected it might be the new password that was causing the problem so we tried to change the password back. But meanwhile after installing the server we had changed the password policy so we were now getting this error while attempting to change the password back to the old one:
Windows cannot set the password for <so-and-so user> because: The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements.
Learn how to relax the password restrictions on WIN 2003 here.
Now you can change the administrator password. If you don't know how, click here.
Now try restarting the TFTP Daemon service.
It worked for us but how it was linked to the old password we still have to find out! Watch out for a later post...this one!
