add domain login from management studio



We have a SQL Server 2005 SP2 server that also functions as a
secondary domain controller in active directory. Everything works
extremely well except for 1 bug that was found today. Currently
windows authentication is the only method. When creating a new sql
login either physically at the server or through a remote desktop
connection the user is found in the domain and works just fine.

However when trying to do the same process using management studio
from a desktop connecting to the sql instance as soon as you try to
find the user in the domain you get this error: "The program cannot
open the required dialog box because it cannot determine whether the
computer name "COMPNAME" is joined to a domain."

I have sysadmin privileges on the sql server and if I use my login
name on the server physically I am able to create logins.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
