Hi

You might have a DNS problem or something similar.

Take a look in the event logs (Start/Run --> eventvwr.msc)

And you're logged in as a domain admin, not local admin, at the time?

Make sure your DNS is setup properly, as Torgeir suggested. All servers and
workstations should specify *only* the internal AD-integrated DNS server's
IP address in their network settings. The AD-integrated DNS server should be
set up with forwarders to your ISP's DNS servers for external resolution
and/or use root hints.
