SYMPTOMSYou are using a computer that is running Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). You run the following command to query
the domain for the list of the organizational units (OU) where you have permissions to create a computer object: netdom query /domain:domain_name OU After you do this, you cannot run the same command
on a Windows Server 2003-based domain controller.
Additionally, you may receive both of the following error
messages. The requested API is not supported on the remote
server The command failed to complete
successfully Note Other netdom query command parameters work on the domain
controller. CAUSEThis problem occurs because of attack surface reduction code
that is included in Windows Server 2003 SP1. This code prevents the NetGetJoinableOUs function from running on Windows Server
2003 SP1-based domain controllers.
This problem occurs because the Netdom query command uses
the NetGetJoinableOUs function.WORKAROUNDTo resolve this problem, run the following command on a
member server instead of on a domain controller: netdom query /domain:domain_name OU STATUSMicrosoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
in the "Applies to" section.
