Domain

Domains, hosting, web sites and more.

~ Vitalie Ciobanu

Just days ago I became a GoDaddy reseller for most of their products and services.

That means you can buy new domains, hosting, web site builder, certificates, SEO tool and more using special prices, that are usually lower than GoDaddy’s official prices.

All the payment and support is provided fully by GoDaddy, so it is 100% safe and reliable.

Failed to extend the Active Directory Schema

~ Vitalie Ciobanu

Usually, extending the Active Directory schema is the last step I do when installing SCCM. This time, while installing SCCM in a virtual machine, you have to provide a path to a folder with SCCM updates or download these updates from the internet. Working in a virtual machine with a “Local only” network adapter, I couldn’t download those updates; so I switch the network adapter to an external one. After downloading the updates, next step is “Installation Prerequisite Check” and at this step I extend the AD schema.

Well, the following error was written in ExtADSch.log file:
Unable to connect to RootDSE - Cannot update Active Directory. Error code = 1355.
Failed to extend the Active Directory Schema.

Error 1355 is: ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN. That means that the specified domain could not be contacted or does not exist. The problem here is that I did not switched back to “Local only” network adapter and so the Active Directory could not be contacted. Setting the adapter to “Local only”, I could contact the Domain Controller and extending the schema was successful.

What I learned? Always make sure you can reach your domain.
