Query LDAP from a client pc

[fjjvharen]

I have a windows 2003 server domain controller in which i can query LDAP using dsquery.exe and dsget.exe.
using:
dsquery.exe computer domainroot -samid ws1169*

When I try to use this dsquery query from my client pc which is logged on to the domain I get the message:

"dsquery failed: the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.."

Do I have to enable ldap query on the server or something?

No. Is this desktop XP? If so, then it should work. From your message, it looks like DNS is not working properly on this machine. Try some pings of the FQDN, DC, and things like that.
