STATUS_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN
No authoritative domain matches the supplied identity
A domain can be addressed by DNS name, NetBIOS name, SID, or a trust object, depending on the API. This status means the authority cannot resolve the supplied value in the current directory and trust topology. It is not equivalent to “no domain controller responded.”
Check name form and search scope before assuming the domain was deleted. Stale trusts, cached names, an incorrect forest, or confusion between DNS and NetBIOS names can produce the same application symptom.
What to inspect
- Record the exact domain name or SID supplied to the failing call.
- Query current trusts and use DC Locator with both the intended DNS and NetBIOS forms.
- Remove stale configuration only after confirming that no trust or directory object legitimately references the domain.
