What happens if you specify a DC/GC when running /pl ?setup /pl /dc:<name of DC>lasse at humandata dot se, http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com

You need to make sure that you have configured the DNS correctly on the server where you running these commands. and ping those servers by ip and name. and as Lasse mentioned specify a DC/GC when running /pl Vinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|

Try running setup /prepareAD before running the /pl once.ThanksSatishna
