    active directory domain services is currently unavailable error


    Purchased my Dell Studio 1749 laptop on Mon. and trying to add my printer/copier at my office. when I go to the print page in Word 2007 there is an Find Printer button. I've used this feature before to install printers. but, when I click on the button I get this error message - Active Directory Domain Services is Currently Unavailalbe.

    Thanks for any help

    Are you on a network with a domain controller? Did you try and setup a domain or a workgroup?
