I have two domain controllers on my network: DC1 and DC2. Both are running Windows Server 2008 R2.
When I launch Active Directory Users and Computers on DC1 it tries to conned to DC1, but I get "An invalid directory pathname was passed" and can't browse the directory. However, on the second domain controller I can connect to both DC1 and DC2 just fine. On DC1 when I switch the domain controller, I'm also able to browse DC2 so it's just accessing the local directory that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
It might be due to DNS because when I launch ADUC from the command line using
dsa.msc /server=[DC1 IP address]
it works just fine.
dsa.msc /server=DC1 does not work.
But I'm not sure how I go about fixing this issue.
