Andrew writes "hi,
I have logged in as a local admin user and installed sql server on a server. The server is on our domain.

After installation, I opened SQL Server Enterprise Manager -> Security -> Logins -> New Login to add domain users (so as to give them access into SQL Server). However I get the error

"You many not be able to browse all of the domains to which you have access because the following error occured: Could not find domain controller for this domain"

I then right click on the instance and select "properties". I notice there is no "Active Directory" tab. I then opened up Query Analyzer and executed the following command:

execute sp_activedirectory_scp @action='CREATE'

I get the following error:

Server: Msg 14359, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP, Line 170
Active Directory is either not enabled on the network or not supported by the operating system.

I then logged out and re-logged in as a domain admin user and I tried all the above steps, but still no luck. (also SQL Server was initially configured to start as local System account, but I also tried as a domain user account)

I spoke to our network administrator, who has confirmed that the server is part of the domain and the network settings are correct. He suggested perhaps re-installing SQL Server, but this time as a domain admin user instead of local user.

Could you advise why I can't see domain users.
Ultimately, I want to add them into the logins so that they can have access to SQL Server.

thanks for your help
Andrew"
