I'm setting up the latest version of WSS (I guess it was released Oct. 1). I'm joined to an AD domain, running the full version of SQL (locally on the WSS web server), and I want to be running in AD account creation mode. All that seems to be fine. I followed the step-by-step instructions in the WindowsSharepointServicesAdmin.chm file for setting it up using the command line, and it did not work. I have banged on it and have gotten through all the steps successfully, through extending the virtual server. However, when I run:
stsadm -o createsite -url http://[servername] -ownerlogin [user@network-domain] -owneremail [e-mail@mail-domain.com]
then I get the error:
"The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."
The Sharepoint server is a member of the domain, and if I ping the domain name, it successfully pings the domain controllers. I get the same error if I leave out the -ownerlogin parameter. I'm not even entirely certain what domain it's complaining about.
I even tried setting everything up using a domain admin account, just to make sure it wasn't some permissions issue somewhere, and it's no go.
Please help.
