Hi,<br />
<br />
First ping the domain name<br />
Example: ping test.com<br />
If you are getting proper reply mean the Domain controller is online and DNS also working fine.<br />
<br />
You can test through Dcdiag command<br />
dcdiag [/s:&lt;DomainController&gt;]<br />
Example : dcdiag /s:test.com<br />
<br />
Also run the Dcdiag command in the Domain Controller you will find the DC is working fine or not.<br />
To check the DNS, run the below command <br />
Dcdiag /test:DNS<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
