The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable....printer "unseen"

I Have a Windows 7 on an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop and an HP LaserjetP1102w. There are two wireless laptops in the household. I am trying to print from Microsoft Word Starter, but it states "No Printers Installed" and if I try to add a printer I get  the message: The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable.
I can print Self Test/Device configuration sheets (on this the iPv4 reads as 0.0.0.0.), a printer test page and a test print from the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  It is the network  which is not reading the printer.
I have disabled my firewall, un- and re-installed the printer.  I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer using the Window 7 installer utility. but that tells this printer "is not currently supported by this Wizard"
I have searched the web for people with the same problem but found nothing that has helped me.  Not to put too fine a point on it I am at my wit's end.
You are my last resort (no pressure, then!)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are the configuration reports with the 0.0.0.0 being printed directly from the printer?  A 0.0.0.0 address indicates the printer is not actually on the network (or at least not getting DHCP information from the router).  The Print and Scan Doctor should not have been able to print to it unless it happened to be connected by a USB cable as well.
What brand and model is the router?
Is the wireless light a solid blue light or a flashing blue light?
You mentioned an Active Directory Domain Services error message.  Outside of corporate networks, this is not an error message you should get.  I suspect there might be a deeper software issue at fault.  Please provide the exact steps you are using to add the printer to generate that error message.

  • Cannot Print. "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"

    Hi there
    I cannot print and I have not been able to find the fix via existing forum threads.
    System: 
    Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit German - Profile language is Danish (installed a week ago and completely windows updated)
    Office 365 Small Business Premium
    HP DV8 Laptop. i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM
    HP LaserJet P1006 USB printer.
    Problem
    No matter if I try to print from IE, Notebook, Word 2013 or anything else, I cannot chose my printer (P1006).
    If I try to Add Printer in Word 2013, I get the "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" error. 
    In Devices and Printers, the P1006 is visible, but there is no driver installed.
    Trying to install the correct driver:

    only creates a general error during installation: "Printer  Software Installer has stopped working - A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows closes the program and will notify you if a solution has been found"
    I have tried all the solution software from Windows, from HP (for the laptop and for the printer) - but nothing comes up with any details or suggestions. 
    What should I try?
    Absolutely everything else works perfectly on the system.

  • How to Name the Active Directory Domain Service for Local Server

    Hello to everyone, I am Karthick from India, currently I am working as a System Engineer in a esteemed institution.  So far we have only workgroup network setup now we are planning to migrate our workgroup to domain network.  So we planned to install
    Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit server on Wipro Netpower Z1531 server and we have totally 150 systems in our premises and also a broadband connection with 512 kbps download speed and 144 kbps upload speed.
    My questions starts here,
    1.) what should be my FQDN name for my first domain controller? Our server will be connected to internet for downloading the updates only, so what settings I have to configure?
    2.) We don't want other clients communicate with our server i.e. outside of our premises via router or any other.
    3.) If suppose in future if we want to access our server from outside either from different town or different country what should I do for that access
    Thanks in advance
    S.R. Karthick

    FQDN name for my first domain controller
    - FQDN is (by default) is your server name + FQDN of the Domain name
    Domain Name - you can select whatever you want.  It is an internal name.   However, you can also, configure to match with your external domain name. Do you some search of
    Split DNS structure.
    My recommendation is to review the IPD guide for AD. You should be able to get all information.

  • Active Directory Domain Service Unavailable

    I've just bought this printer and gone through the installation.. all seemed well.
    Network set up also went well and wireless network test results show 'No Problems Found'.
    When I click on print icon in Word, Excel etc etc I get the usual print dialogue box.  If I just click on PRINT all seems fine, BUT clicking on Properties gets - 'The Active Directory Domain Service is Currently Unavailable'.  Click on PROPERTIES and the program 'locks'.  If I try to close it I'm told there is a dialogue box open (which there isn't).  I have to force a shut down via task manager.
    I've tried closing Firewall - no effect.
    I've tried USB connection - same problem.
    I've run Windows troubleshooter - nothing detected.
    Any help please?

    Hello Nath1310,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you having some issues with the computer freezing up after attempting to access the printing menu.
    Try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if any software or driver issues are causing the freezing.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.

  • Laptop (Running Windows 8.1) no longer able to print and now see message Active Directory Domain Services is not available

    Have a very recent Lenovo Ideapad Laptop running Windows 8.1. Connected via USB port to HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 frw Color MFP Printer. Was able to print fine nearly 2 weeks ago, but something recently happened - either a new windows or office 2013 update
    or perhaps I blew away a certain file by mistake. I can see the printer installed but cannot print to it from anything (Word, Notepad, IE, Firefox etc.). The one thing to note is that usually when I plug or unplug a USB related device, Windows 8.1 recognizes
    this and makes a certain chime noise, but with the printer USB cable it never makes that noise - making me think that it never fully recognizes the printer. Also when I select the printer (from within the control panel) and right click for properties (via
    admin rights) It never lets me fully connect to it.
    I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services,  etc. Its really annoying because this printer was working fine nearly 2
    weeks ago. Looking for any advice now. Thanks.
    -Chris

    Hi Chris,
    à
    I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc.
    I noticed that you had reinstalled the printer. Just a confirmation, when un-install this printer, please check
    if this printer still exist in registry. For more details, please refer to following KB.
    Registry entries for printing
    If printer entry still exist in registry, please delete that printer entry and re-install this printer again,
    then check if this issue still exists. (Please backup registry entries before operating registry. It will help us to avoid unexpected issue.)
    àand now see
    message Active Directory Domain Services is not available
    By the way, would you please let me know where/when get this
    Active Directory Domain Services is not available error message? Or provide a screenshot of it?
    (Please hide all protected or private information) Please check if all services are running correctly on the computer. Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

  • Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

    Hi everyone,
    I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
     Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
    When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
    The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
    At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
    Help appreciated,
    John

    Hi John,
    Thanks for posting.
    Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
    To disable Write Caching:
    1. Go to Device Manager.
    2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
    3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
    4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
    5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
    6.Click OK.
    If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

  • SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

    I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
    "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
    Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
    ID: 2607"
    What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    5) Neither service account is locked out
    Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...
    Andrew Topp

    That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
    as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
    "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

  • Active Directory Domain Services crash after Administrator renames object in Active Directory Users and Computers

    Hello.
    We have two domain controllers - node1 (Windows 2008 R2) and node2 (Windows 2012 R2). When administrator connects to node2 and tries to rename some object in AD (for example, user) AD Domain Services crashes and reboot server after 60 seconds.

  • Active directory domain services stopped after removing routing and remote access role

    Hello everyone;;
    I am in deep trouble.. I did install routing and remote access and then  lost connection to the server remotely. Then I connected a monitor to the server and removed the role... then it asked me to restart the server . After logging back in I found
    all my active directory service has gone... I can see red cross on active directory domain services.. Also I am able to ping other pcs but other pcs cannot ping my server..
    However when I go into the active directory services, it shows all services are running except file replication service. I have tried to start that service but it give error 1053 error..
    My server in  between loses LAN connection... I dont know what is going on.. Please help!!!
    My  server is win 2008 R2 ser pack 1
    Only one DC....
    Has fixed ip, 
    no DNS server running..

    Hi,
    The File Replication Service Start Error 1053 error can be caused by damaged Windows system files. Corrupted system files entries can threaten the well-being of your computer. Many events can result in creating system file errors.
    Please refer to the articles below to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Active Directory Domain Services Child Domains

    I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771856(v=ws.10).aspx
    When I select "Add Roles" I click on "Active Directory Domain Services (Installed)" the "Next>" button is not enabled and can not be selected.
    Did I install ADDS wrong?
    Is this not how you define Child Domains?
    If I use the Command Line or Answer File Methods I get an error message at "ChildName".
    Did I forget to install something about enabling Child Domains when installing ADDS?

    Hi,
    Did you try to create a child domain on the Domain Controller? It seems like that this Server is already a DC, with Active Directory Domain Services installed.
    We don’t have to enable anything in the root domain for creating child domains/new trees, we just need to run
    Dcpromo or Add Role on another server which is not a DC, and select the existing domain as its parent, then the child domain will be created.
    In addition, please make the existing DC as the preferred DNS server on the new server.
    I hope this helps.

  • Activating Windows 7 by using KMS Without the Active Directory Domain environment

    Dear,
                 Can we able to activate the Windows 7 O/S Machines by using KMS without the Active Directory Domain environment,As our some of the Computers will not connect with AD domain, we need to setup the speprate KMS
    server for this.
    Thanks
    Balaji K 

    You can point the KMS clients to the KMS host machine by opening an Elevated CMD prompt:
    and running slmgr /skms to point directly to the KMS host.
    You do not need a Domain controller.
    Volume Licensing: Key Management Service (KMS) Client Options:
    /skms <Name[:Port] | : port> [Activation ID] [Activation ID]                                                                                                          
    Set the name and/or the port for the KMS computer this machine will use. IPv6 address must be specified in
    the format [hostname]:port                          /ckms [Activation ID]

  • Error Message: The Adobe InContext Editing service is currently unavailable

    Hey Folks,
    For the past week, my client is getting the folowing error message when he tries to log in:
    The Adobe InContext Editing service is currently unavailable.
    We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please try again later.
    However we can access the editor from another computer without without problems.
    He is in a different country and he had been using the editor for quite a few months now.
    Have the minimum requirements changed?
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    That's correct Corey.
    The client is in Cyprus accessing the editor through a Firefox browser, which he had been successfully doing for some time now.
    His representative, using the same login and password in Canada is able to access the editor fine.
    I've since sent him a seperate login invitation
    I've asked him to try another browser / computer.
    update his flash
    He said his flash wouldn't update, so I don't know if it's an issue with his browser, computer, or user.
    I'm waiting on the other two action items.
    Thanks for your involvement.

  • Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

    Findings: 
    Currently, Windows 2012 R2   AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
    adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
    The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
    the roles until it works.  This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
    We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
    Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
    The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
    This blog needs serious revision:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
    This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller.  In addition, we published
    guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
    Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system.  They refunded my money for the support call. 
    For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
    of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
    use it).
    I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
    a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
    I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
    buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
    Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Do you need any other assistance?
    Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
    mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
