  • Article

The user attempts to use Remote OS Installation to install Windows 2000 on his or her computer, but no boot information negotiation layer (BINL) server responds to his or her request. An error message appears indicating that the computer is unable to read Active Directory settings

Possible Causes:

  • The server cannot access Active Directory.

  • There is a problem with the rights assigned to the server's Computer object in Active Directory.

Diagnostic Tests:

Run Netdiag and correct any communication errors.

Start the BINL server in the security context of the domain administrator. If the problem resolves, there is a server rights problem.
