AD : a local error has occured.

Hi all,

I have this problem with AD and I hope any techi expert can help me. Recently, when I tried to add a new user in my W2003's AD, it would say the name is not unique and at the end , it said 'a local error has occured ' .

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks

 

That suggests to me that the username you are giving the new user is already being used by another user. usernames need to be unique. So if you use initial of first name plus surname for your user names, Roger Smith and Rupert Smith would have the same username of rsmith. You have to get around this by doing something like adding an incremental number to the first copy, so in this example one user would be rsmith1.

 

Hi ReggieB,

Thanks for the reply. Do you by any chance know what 'Local error has occured' mean? I seem not able to find this error any where.


Thanks

 

Where specifically do you get this error and what steps do you take to get it?

Can you paste in the *entire* error dialog? Press Ctrl+C when the message box comes up and then paste it into a reply here.
