WAC - Server not addable from AD
Hi,
i installed actual WAC public preview with my domain account (local admin) on a Server 2025 (26257).
When i start WAC and i want to add window Server i can´t search Active Directory, because it says:
"We can’t search Active Directory because the Windows Admin Center computer isn’t joined to an Active Directory domain. It’s also possible that your account doesn’t have permission to read from Active Directory."
Can you help, because server is domain joined. SPN is also set on AD Computer Account with http/admincenter.domain.internal.

Although you've stated the server is domain-joined, it’s important to verify that the server is properly connected to the domain:
- Check the Domain Status:
- Open System Properties (right-click This PC > Properties) and check the Domain section to ensure it shows the correct domain name.
- Use the following PowerShell command to confirm the domain join status:
- Check DNS Configuration
WAC relies on DNS to communicate with domain controllers. Ensure the server running WAC can resolve domain names properly:
- Verify DNS Settings:
- Check the DNS settings on the server (Network & Internet > Ethernet > Properties > IPv4).
- Make sure the DNS server is pointing to the correct domain controller’s IP address.
- Test DNS Resolution:
- Verify DNS Settings:
- Check the Domain Status:
