Resolution

Log in to the AD Server and perform the following steps

  1. Open Group policy manager.
  2. Edit the Domain Controller Policy
  • Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
  1. Look for the below two entries-
  • Domain Controller: LDAP Server signing requirements.
  • Network security: LDAP Client signing requirements
  1. Make sure these entries are set to the following values-
  • Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements = none
  • Network security: LDAP client signing requirements = Negotiate
  1. In some environments the entry "Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements" is set to "Require Signing".

  1. Change it to "none" and run a GPUPDATE /FORCE on the AD Server.

  1. Try to register the AD server again from the Console and this time you should be able to register it successfully.
