I have a primary domain controller running Server 2012 R2. It is running just fine. I have a secondary server running Server 2008 R2 Datacenter. The 2008 R2 server is not a domain controller. The Remote Server Administration Tools have been installed because I want to be able to use Active Directory Users & Computers from this server.
Every time I launch ADUC, I get an error:
"Naming information cannot be located because: Access is denied"
Every time I launch AD Domains & Trusts, I get an error:
"The configuration information describing this enterprise is not available"
I have checked IPv4 settings between the two servers and they match. I am also a member of the domain administrators group which does have local admin on the server.
I am wondering what kind of cause could this 'access denied' be coming from? I just can't get it to see the domain controller...
Thanks for your help!
Edit, ipconfig /all output:
