When trying to access Active Directory Users and Computers I get the following error: The naming Information cannot be located for the following reason: the srever is not operational.
The server is authenticating users and allowing users access to shares folders.
I have uninstalled antivirus and eliminated possible issues with the Broadcomm NIC installed, I beleive thats it is a Microsoft Issue.
This is a single DC in a small domain. AD was running from the DC. Exchange was running from the same DC.
I am in the same case as : " http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/thread/964ca0ff-3264-4f00-bda1-5ed3a3cc2801/" but with other little differences.

Although the Guid DNS name
(96c74848-da83-40c9-87d5-d811785c1311._msdcs.ct-fr.local) couldn't be
resolved, the server name (serveur.ct-fr.local) resolved to the IP
address (192.168.69.64) and was pingable. Check that the IP address
is registered correctly with the DNS server.
