RPC Server not available

Many friends in the installation of their own printer driver will be prompted "Can not install this hardware, RPC server is not available" situation, then what is PRC, why will the RPC server is not available? Small series collection and collation as follows:

　　When you perform any of the following server-based tasks, you may receive an "RPC server is unavailable (RPC servers unavailable)" error message:

• Copy

Winlogon

• Enable trusted relationships

• Connect to a domain controller

• Connect to a trusted domain

• User authentication

　　Note: an "RPC server is unavailable" error may also occur when running Dcpromo on a member server. This problem occurs if there is only one DC, and file and printer sharing is not enabled on the network card of the DC.

　　Reason

This problem can occur for any of the following reasons:

• RPC service may not be started.

• DNS or NetBIOS names cannot be resolved.

• Unable to establish RPC channel.

　　Solution

　　To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type the following command line in the Open box, and then click OK: Net start RPCSS to test to see if this solves the problem. If this problem still occurs, proceed to the next step.

2. Click Start, point to the program, point to the attachment, and then click the command Prompt.

3. At the command prompt, type ping servername, where servername is the server, NetBIOS, DNS, or GUID name for which you want to test the connection. If one of the computers has a connection problem, contact your network administrator to resolve the problem. If this problem still occurs, proceed to the next step.

4. Use the Netdiag tool included with the Microsoft Windows Support tool (included on the Windows CD-ROM) to determine if the domain controller is working correctly. You can perform network tracing using the MSRPC, DNS, NBT, LDAP, or TCP protocols. If there is a problem with the domain controller, contact your network administrator to resolve the problem. If this problem still occurs, proceed to the next step.

5. Use the Netdom tool contained in the Windows support tool to verify the network trust relationship and then reset or establish a connection to the server.

Also run services.msc, check out RPC remote Procedure call (RPC) and remote

Procedure Call (RPC) Locator These two services, setting them to start automatically. If not, look at the DCOM Server Process Launcher is this service already running? If not, starting the DCOM service can be resolved.

　　What is the RPC server

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that requests services over a network from a remote computer program without having to understand the underlying network technology.

　　2000 system printer problem, prompt RPC server is not available!!

　　method One: Modify the Registry method Click "Start → run", type "Regedit" to open "Registry Editor", expand the branch "Hkey_local_machinesystem currentcontrolsetservicesrpcss ", change the value of the start item to" 00000002 "to reboot the system.

　　method Two: use sc.exe command click "start → run", type "cmd" enter "Command Prompt" window, type "sc config RpcSs start= Auto" command, the system will display "SC Changeserviceconfig SUCCESS, so that the RPC service can be started successfully. Note: Windows 2000/2003 Resource Kit must be installed to use the "SC" command (funded

SOURCE kit), otherwise this command is not available.

　　method Three: use the Recovery Console for example Windows XP system, put the installation CD in the optical drive, and set the BIOS parameters to boot from CD-ROM;

After starting the computer, the system enters the Windows XP installation interface and presses the "R" key to log on to the Recovery Console. Under the Recovery Console, type the Enable RpcSs Service_Auto_Start command, and then type the exit command to restart the system to log in in normal mode to successfully start the RPC service.

　　Attention:

Enable is a command that is provided by the Recovery Console to start system services and device drivers and can only be used under the Recovery Console.
