I am new to Active Directory and DNS. I tried adding a domain group called TSE_Sec_Admins to the Administrators local group.

I get an message:
Processing of object TSE_Sec_Admins failed with the following error: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

I can ping the Domain Controller and can see all of the users in the domain from the add dialog box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a DNS problem. Make sure a that ALL IP info is correct in network settings. If it is, try pinging the domain controller by dns name, ie. ping server1.domain.com. You should get a return with the IP address. Another thing you may tryafter setting the IP configuration is running IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS, and then IPCONFIG /REGISTERDNS. Lst thing I would try if everything checks out as far as IP configurations, is adding a record manually to the DNS database. Best of luck!
