Error messages in SharePoint Server 2007 when you try to add an import connection to import users from Active Directory services: "An error occurred while validating or updating the directory service connection"
When you install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and you try to add an import connection to import users from Active Directory services, you receive one or more of the following error messages:
An error occurred while validating or updating the directory service connection. No connection was added.
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Please re-enter the domain name or explicitly specify the domain controller and search base.
This issue occurs in environments in which the DNS name differs from the NetBIOS domain name. For example, the Active Directory name is
contos, and the NetBIOS domain name is
contoso.
To work around this issue, enter the NetBIOS domain name in the
Domain name text box on the Add Connection page in SharePoint Server 2007.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
