Prepare Forest Active Directory settings execution failed

Asked By Luke N Marks 85 points N/A Posted on - 05/27/2014

Hello,

When I start to prepare the forest of my Active Directory for Lync Server 2013 and follow the steps which worked very well for my friend, I have this error and nothing seems like to work. I did the same steps many time without a result. Does anyone have a solution for this error ? What did I missed ?

Thank you !
