My background includes various positions in Software Development, Technical Communications, Technical Support (was setting up 24×7 phone support in Aelita Software - that was a fun job!), Product Management, and now New Product Research.

Right now I am mostly involved in strategic planning and directions for Quest’s Windows Management Business Unit and our Microsoft collaboration. I am doing a lot of traveling meeting with Quest staff globally, our customers and partners, Microsoft, attending conferencing, talking to press and analysts.

    Installed Mgmt Shell for AD and PowerUI. Get error “specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted”. Can’t browse anything in Active Directory folder within PowerGUI.
    How do I resolve this?

    Jim,

    Is your computer joined to an AD domain? It looks like it is not - so the cmdlets by default are trying to get to the “current” domain and fail.

    If this does not help, please post the issue to the discussion forums at PowerGUI.org and someone will help you troubleshoot the issue.

    Hi I founf out, you install .net into server core (when try run powershell). I need ASP.NET here is there any similar hack ?

    Thank you

    Petr, you can follow these same steps just to install .NET 2.0 (or in fact 3.0 and 3.5) and see if ASP.NET works on top. I have not tried this. Might work - or might not - or might just partially work if some ASP.NET-specific classes have specific GUI requirements and rely on Win API not present on Server Core.
