Problem

When you attempt to access the System Administration or Status Monitor, theis error appears in the browser:

Error from authentication subsystem.hr=0x8004054B (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be 

contacted.\x0D\x0A)

Please see your Cisco Unity system administrator for more details.

Solution

This problem can occur when you access the System Administration or Status Monitor from a remote system. Try one these workarounds in order to overcome this error message:

1. Try to log into the SA with the IP address of the Cisco Unity server, rather than the server name, in the URL.

2. Turn off Windows Authentication on the Cisco Unity server.

Complete these steps in order to turn off Windows Authentication on the Cisco Unity server:

1. Choose Start > Programs > Administative Tools > Internet Services Manager in order to start the IIS Manager.

2. Go to the default web site.

3. Right-click on web, then properties.

4. Choose the directory security tab.

5. Click Edit Anonymous access and authentication control.

6. Click Anonymous access and uncheck Integrated Windows Authentication.

7. Reset the WWW service.

Sometimes, the second workaround previously mentioned results in this error message:

Server.CreateObject(AvSaLocalization.AvSaLocalization.1) failed.
This is most likely an error with a DLL, probably AvSaLocalizationSvr.dll or perhaps
AvSaLocaleInfoSvr.dll. Check that these files are present, and registered with REGSVR32.
Also be sure that the appropriate MsgStoreRes.dll file is present.
Cannot continue. (From: Global.asa: hr=0x80070005)

Complete these steps in order to overcome this error message:

1. Search the Cisco Unity server for these files:

   • AvSaLocalizationSvr.dll

   • AvSaLocaleInfoSvr.dll

2. Choose Start > Run, and type cmd. Press Enter.

3. CD to the directory where the AvSaLocalizationSvr.dll file is located.

4. At the prompt, type regsvr32 AvSaLocalizationSvr.dll.

5. Press Enter.

6. CD to the directory where the AvSaLocaleInfoSvr.dll file is located.

7. At the prompt, type regsvr32 AvSaLocaleInfoSvr.dll

8. Press Enter.

   Note: For each register attempt, a pop-up message indicates that the .dll registered successfully.

9. Now, update three DCOM configuration entries in Component Services:

   Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Component Services. Expand Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config.

   Changes must be made on these entries:

   • AvLic

   • AvCsGateway

   • AvDSGlobalCatalog

   Right-click each entry and choose Properties. Choose the Security tab and customize Launch Permissions. Add the Everyone group and give it Local Launch and Local Activation privileges.

   There is no need to reboot after these steps.
