When I double click on Active Directory I get this error message:

"Naming information cannot be located because:
The network path was not found. Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currentlyonline."

The problem suddenly appeared and I cant access the active directory. I havent made any changes to the server's TCP/IP settings.

When I run NETDIAG i get this message:

DNS test...: Failed
[WARNING] Cannot find a primary autoritative DNS server for the name "server1.myserver.com" [RCODE_SERVER_FAILURE]

How to fix this problem? Thank you.

1) Make sure the Netlogon service is running on your Domain Controller.
2) Make sure that the machine you are on has the proper DNS servers listed in its table. It really sounds like the domain controller records in DNS are either not getting polled by the workstation you are on OR the records are mangled.
3) Check the DNS servers and make sure your Domain Controllers are properly configured.

Sounds liek your DNS is missing SVR records for your domain controllers.
