SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Server Manager or User Manager for Domains on the primary domain controller (PDC), you may receive the following error message:

Unable to find primary domain controller for this domain.

When this occurs, no other computer can ping the PDC by address. The IPCONFIG command shows no IP address bound to the network adapter. Bindings show IP and NWlink bound to the network adapter, but you have no network functionality.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the IP address appears not to be bound to the network adapter.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove and reinstall the network adapter, or replace the network adapter with another.
