Hello,
I tried to add management Domain in Active Roles version 8.1 and I got this error - " The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"
I tried everything from KB without success
Description of the problem -
1. one domain connected to Active Roles and possible to send ping to Domain name "yosef.lab" (that connected to AR)
2.try to send ping to AD with IP Address with success.
3. try to send ping to second domain name "yosef2.lab" (my second Domain) without success.
Resolution
1. add the DNS IP of second Domain ("yosef2.lab") in default Ethernet Adapter
2. set this DNS IP (second Domain) as Preferred DNS server
3. send ping to second Domain with success
OR
1. add conditional forward in your DNS
Let me know if It's helped
