Thanks Jerry for your response. It is case (b). The fqdn of the local machine is set to a domain outside the AD domain name and the user credentials being used is 'Domain User' and not a 'Domain Admin'.
Do we need 'Domain Admin' if the local machine domain is outside the AD domain name? Is this a restriction that will be addressed in the near future?
