All,

We currently have a box up with vmware installed. Two machines at the moment, one running AD, DNS, DHCP etc (svr2003) and another running SCCM 2007, SQL 2005 (svr2003).

Everything seems to be setup and configured OK, AD is working, as is SCCM, we have allowed full control to AD system container via the SCCM hostname, and it has created the Systems Mangement container. We have also extended the schema. All this was successful.

However, when we come to enable ANY of the AD discovery modes within SCCM, we get an error message listed below....

ConfigMgr : Cannot connect to the active directory container you specified - Container : LDAP://DC=virtualdomain,DC=net

Container either does not exist or could not be found.

We are able to log into the domain on the SCCM box and everything seems to be intergrated OK.

Do you guys have any ideas, im guessing its something majorly simple ive just missed off.

Cheers

Does the computer account for that hostname have rights to read? What if you pick a specific OU instead of the entire domain, an OU you've confirmed the computer account has at least read rights to?

The computer account has full control, when we go into the dialog box to pick "This domain, this namespace or custom LDAP" if we click on browse we get the above error messages so we cant pick a specific OU, however if we type in a custom LDAP it accepts it, but doesnt seem to do anything regarding it...

I remember having a simliar issue when we installed sms2003, but I cant for the life of me remember what we did to resolve it, its more than likely user error......
