Hi Karl, I think I see many domain controllers for the domain am using. But I see only one IP address mapped to the domain controller name that am using in the credentials form.
As I told you, its working sometimes and throwing exception sometimes. But ping works always fine on the domain controller name that am using, from which I assume that it is not unreachable. Can you tell me what else I should be checking or what other factors could be causing this to fail ? Thanks and Regards, Swapna.
