There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

 

 

Error : "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request" 

After joining the machine to the domain when I tried to login for the first time with domain administrator credentials it said "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request" and yes again I had to Google about the error and try resolving the error most of the solutions available online spoke about WINS database entries for authentication and domain controllers entries with NetBIOS names along with WINS server. I tried the following things to get the issue fixed.

1.        Rebooted machine

2.       Logged in with local administrator account

3.       Disabled firewall for testing

4.      Tried to ping the Domain controller it pined and was able to resolve domain name

5.       Disconnected the machine from domain and reconnected again

6.      Rebooted machine again and tried to login with domain user as earlier.

This fixed the issue though but I am not sure if this has anything to do with firewall settings or may be it takes some time to update entries on DC or DNS server after adding the machine to domain and trying to login with domain credentials for the first time.
