re: domain controller could not be contacted Monday, September 29, 2008 at 4:50 pm Windows Server 2003 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by appleoddity (2369 messages posted) looks normal.. The next test is to make sure that the LDAP server is not blocked. Try 'telnet exodus.server607.com 389' If you see a blank screen with a flashing cursor, you can just press ENTER and this is a sign of successful connection to the LDAP server. If there are any error messages than we have a problem. If this is successful, then the only thing I can think of is installing a packet sniffer and take a look at the nitty gritty thats happening over the wire to determine where the failure is.
