Can't search for ADS users in computer management

[Guest jens.wannenmacher@gmail.com]

Hello,

 

we have some computers in a Windows Server 2003 domain and have the

following problem(s):

* logged on to a domain computer with a user that is domain admin and

opened computer management

-> Local Users and Groups -> Groups

* If I try to add a user to a group I only get the local computer as

location and can't add any domain

users to the local group

* If I open a group that already contains some domain users it takes

very long to display. The domain users show up

not as normally only with their usernames but also with there

unique ID (S-1-5-21-821....).

 

Any suggestions? The domain controller is reachable and I get almost

the same behaviour if I try the same from the DC itself. If I try it

from the DC I can add users to the groups but the rest is all the same

as described above.

 

Thanks and best regards

Jens

Btw.: I found an error in the application log with EventID 1053:

Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified

domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group

Policy processing aborted.

 

Best regards,

Jens

The problem is solved by reviewing and correcting some DNS-settings
