STATUS_DOMAIN_EXISTS
The requested domain identity is already allocated
Domain creation and provisioning operations require names and identifiers to be unique in their applicable namespace. This status reports a collision with existing domain state, including state that may not be visible in the administrator tool used to submit the request.
Do not retry with minor spelling variations until the existing object is understood. A partially created trust, stale configuration object, or domain with a different display name can still own the identifier. Inspect the directory and transaction logs before choosing whether to reuse, repair, or remove it.
What to inspect
- Search by DNS name, NetBIOS name, SID, and trust-object attributes.
- Check for a previous partially completed provisioning or trust operation.
- Confirm replication convergence before deciding that the collision is stale.
