SYMPTOMS
When you try to select objects from an Active Directory domain, you may receive the following error message:

Object Picker cannot open because no locations from which to choose objects can be found.

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.
 * 2) On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.
 * 3) On the Adapters and Bindings tab, click your internal local area connection in the Connections box.
 * 4) Click the Up arrow at the right-side of the box until it is the first connection in the list, and then click OK.
