Hi

I hope you installed ADS, if you installed it.
Try this,
Don't give -- palpap.local.com
give-- local.com

I hope it should work.

All the best.....

Click Start, then click run.
In the prompt type in dcpromo, then run through the wizard. This will set up your domain. Depending on your network, you may have to open ports as well in some of your network devices.
