Current security context is not associated with an Active Directory domain or forest

Hi!

I have just migrated a Windows Server 2016 Essentials to a virtualized Win2022 host with to VMs with Win2022. One of the VMs is DC and on the other (named ts01) I want to install Remote Desktop Role. TS01 is installed and joined to the domain. I logon to it with a domain administrator account.

When trying to install the Remote Desktop Services I get an error message on installing "Remote Desktop Services role services" saying:
"Current security context is not associated with an Active Directory domain or forest".

  • What could be the cause of this?
  • Have I missed something in the migration process?

    Hello Patrik,

    Can you check that you are actually logged on as a domain administrator? From a command prompt type 'whoami' and check who is logged in? I bet you are logged in as a local administrator and not as the domain admin. To prevent this from happening try 'domain.local\administrator'.

    The DNS server IP address on TS01 was incorrect. After setting it to the correct IP address of the Domain Controller, the installation completed successfully.
