No Domain Configuration available

Cause:

Post installation, ADAudit Plus automatically discovers the local domain from the DNS server configured on the machine running ADAudit Plus. This error occurs when no domain details are found on the DNS server.

Solution:

Ensure that your domain is listed under Domain Settings in ADAudit Plus.

  • Login to your ADAudit Plus web console.
  • Click Domain Settings on the top right corner and check if your domain is added under Configured Domain(s).
  • If your domain is not added, follow this Active Directory domain configuration guide to add your domain manually.

The Servers are not operational

Cause:

Post installation, ADAudit Plus automatically discovers the domain controllers (DC) in the local domain. This error occurs when the domain controllers in the domain are unreachable.

Solution:

Check if the LDAP port (port no. 389) and RPC ports (static port no.135 and dynamic port no. 49152- 65535) are open to ensure that ADAudit Plus is able to contact the domain controllers in the domain.

  • Follow this port guide to open the LDAP and RPC ports required to sync Active Directory objects with ADAudit Plus.

Troubleshooting:

Ping all the DCs added in ADAudit Plus.

  • Login to you ADAudit Plus web console.
  • Click Domain Settings on the top right corner and select your domain under Configured Domain(s) to find the available domain controllers.
  • Open Command Prompt on the ADAudit Plus server and ping the domain controllers listed under Domain Settings in ADAudit Plus console by name to check if they are accessible.

How to configure remote servers in ADAudit Plus

Domains that do not have trust with domains configured in ADAudit Plus are considered as remote domains and the servers in those domains are remote servers. You can audit remote servers by following the steps below:

  • Check if you're able to ping the remote server from the ADAudit Plus server. If the ping is successful, you can audit the remote server without any issues.
  • If the ping is unsuccessful, add a DNS entry by following the steps below:
    • Go to the Ethernet or Wi-Fi settings in the ADAudit Plus server (Windows Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections).
    • Right-click and select Properties.
    • Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to enable the Properties option, and select and continue to the Advanced... option.
    • In the DNS tab, add the remote domain's DNS server IP address. Then, select the Append these DNS suffixes (in order) option. Click Add to enter the Domain Suffix of the remote server. Click OK to save the setting.
