Hi Matjaz,
I have the same problem. I have tried following the document you suggested
by when using the ADSIEdit, on step 1 I can expand to DC=your domain .... I
can only see following..
-Domain NC [domain.name.com]
CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=cic,DC=... etc

Is my domain information corrupted??

TIA

No, that just means that you must manually connect your domain in ADSIEdit.
Rightclick on ADSIEdit and select connect. In connection dialog select
DomainNC in Naming Context and then expand newly connected object. You
should see DC=domain, DC=... below and if you expand it further you should
see OU=Domain Controllers.....
else post a picture of what you see in ADSIEdit dialog box.
