Error message: 
When I add the domain controller, I get an error "The given servers are not operational".


Possible cause:

  1. Domain Controllers (DCs) are down.

  1. The firewall has been enabled, and port 389 is closed.

  1. The network is busy.

Solution:

  1. Ping to check if the domain controller is operational.

  1. Check the firewall for inbound and outbound rules.

  1. Rectify any problems with the domain controller.
