Hello everybody,

We're facing some trouble with our 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!
