BINL Server Does Not Start and Unknown User Error Message Appears

  • Article

You attempt to start the boot information negotiation layer (BINL) service, and an error message appears that indicates that the user is unknown.

Possible Causes:

There is a service rights issue.

Diagnostic Tests:

Start the BINL service (Binlsvc.exe) under the context of a domain administrator. If the error resolves, then you need to configure the rights of the server's computer object so the local system can read the Computer object for the computer and any necessary sub-objects.
