For some reason, I'm now getting the following EventID on the RIS server and clients are not being serviced:

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: BINLSVC

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1051

Date: 11/10/2006

Time: 09:09:20

User: N/A

Computer: *************

Description:

The Remote Installation service encountered an error while attempting to bind to the *********.com directory service. The error code is in the record data.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Data:

0000: 52 00 00 00 R...

There are events in the log stating that the RIS server IS authorized, but yet it will still not service clients and the TFTP & RIS services are sometimes being forced to stop and being Disabled.

Has anyone seen this before and know what to do? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Doug.

Run Risetup.exe on the RIS server and select the "Check this remote installation server for errors" option.

Usually you get this error when the RIS server's BINLSVC is attempting to connect to the Active Directory via the DS service running on a domain controller. Were there any AD changes made around the time this started happening, is DNS misconfigured or working improperly on the RIS server, etc. ? Either the RIS server can no longer bind to a domain controller to get RIS information from the AD, or DNS isn't functioning properly on the RIS server (or the DC).
