Error code1355
TypeNetwork
DescriptionThe specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN
Comments Ionut Marin (Last update 10/6/2005): Make sure that the Domain Controller is not offline or that its name is not mistyped. Try to ping the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the DC. For example, this problem can occur if a domain controller in the domain has not registered an "A" record for itself in DNS.
Of course, network connectivity and DNS problems could cause this problem, so check for this type of problems too.
