SYMPTOMS
When you use several of the available commands that are included in the Dsstore tool (Dsstore.exe), such as

dsstore DC=MyDomain,DC=com -addcrl &quot;My Certificate Authority.crl&quot; &quot;My Certificate Authority&quot; MyDomain-DC-01

-or-

dsstore.exe -display DC=MyDomain,DC=com

You may receive the following error messages after a few seconds:

DsGetDCName failed! - rc=1355 GLE - 3e5

DsGetDCName failed! - rc=1355 GLE - 3e5



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the NetBIOS domain name does not match the leftmost component of the fully-qualified lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) name of the domain. For example:

DNS Domain Name: MyDomain.com

LDAP Domain Name: DC=MyDomain,DC=com

NetBIOS Domain Name: MyDom

This is a valid scenario and that you can configure when you promote the first domain controller in a domain.
