Hi All,
I'm trying to manage another domain from our domain using ADUC, and I want to use the method used in this post https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a8fd7084-3b4f-4094-8dd6-fd88222e1634/connect-to-external-domain-in-aduc?forum=winserverDS

I'm having the following error: domain xxx could not be found because the server is not operational.
What are the ports that should be opened between the remote DC and the machine I'm using ADUC in?

Active Directory
Active Directory
A set of directory-based technologies included in Windows Server.

    We have joined several computers to the WT domain. These computers do not have any policies specifically applied to them except for the default policies. When I look at these computers in ADUC and do a right-click Manage on the computer I get an error on one computer that says the computer “cannot be managed. The network path was not found.” On another I get “Event viewer cannot connect to computer. RPC server is unavailable” but the manage console opens. What am I missing?”

    Almost certainly a firewall setting. We’re not enabling firewall rules SMB/RPC/etc by default at the domain level since we’d basically have to open it to all of campus and thats just too widely spread.
    If they are all Win7 boxes, and assuming you have a limited number of machines where you do your system administration, create a policy with a custom rule in the Advanced firewall that allows all Ports and Programs inbound from the IP’s of your system administration boxes.
