  • Inside the command prompt window, type ‘ping IP_address’ (where ‘IP_address’ is the IP address of the domain controller.
  • Press Enter.

    • If you successfully managed to ping the FQDN but not the domain controller IP address, this means that you might have a problem with the DNS host name resolution.

    In case you can not ping the domain controller by IP address, this means that there are possible issues with your DHCP server‘s firewall configuration, network connectivity, or IPsec configuration.
