  • Hello raghavendra,

    did it ever work? And which method did you use? I assume Discover with Active Directory. If it's the first time you tried this (i.e. you have never tried it before) I suggest you contact Support. Otherwise the usual questions - any recent changes (to SEC, AD, ...) and which versions are involved?

  • Hello _Fox_,

    with same problem do you mean the same error code or just a problem with discover? As the error in the original post mentions GetActiveDirectoryDomains it looks like AD is involved whereas you say with out AD. Thus I don't think it is the same problem. Could you please post the details of the error you are getting?
