Hello everybody,

We're facing some trouble with our Windows Server 2008 R2 installation.

The passwords expired and we're prompted to change the password.

After changing it, we get following error message:

Configuration Information could no be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.

But we aren't even using a domain controller.

So we tried running the server in Safe Mode where we get following message after changing the password:

An attempt was made to logon, but the network logon service was not started.

Are there any other things I could try?

All help is more than appreciated!
