To get the hierarchical structure from Active directory to power bi - active-directory

I am trying to get the user hierarchy from the active directory to power bi
So, I am facing an error as :
Unable to Connect: We encountered an error while trying to connect. Details: "Active Directory: The active directory domain 'company1.uk' couldn't be found."
So, Can it be possible I can get it from a blank query to get the hierarchical structure or any other way?
If yes, Could you please help me with this
Thanks in advance

I had the exact error message in a lab environment and it turned out to be a DNS issue.
The domain controller had a made up domain with a few VMs joined to it. I had configured a domain override in the router's DNS (pfSense router) so that the AD Domain (in your case company1.uk) would defer to the lab domain controller for DNS. My issue was that I spelled it wrong, once I corrected that the error was resolved.
I imagine it would work if you also put specific DNS entries in for the domain and the hosts tied to it that you needed to communicate with.

80192ee7 error during AzureAD MDM enrollment

Anyone familiar with error 80192ee7 while enrolling device?
After entering account in Join this device to Azure Active Directory, I can verify "Terms and conditions" page, and after that process crash and I get this error message.
Tnx In advance for answer.
This refers to some issue with the DNS service running on the machine, check if you are able to resolve to enrollment.manage.microsoft.com site.
These are mostly seen if you manage your own DNS and when the machine is not able to reach that site for some reason, I would start with DNS troubleshooting towards this.

Unable to create to obtain OpenId Configuration

I am using OpenIdConnect for Authentication with Azure AD. The application is hosted on IIS. I got below exception few days back:
IDX10803: Unable to create to obtain configuration from: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/.well-known/openid-configuration'.
Stack Trace is: at Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.ConfigurationManager`1.d__3.MoveNext()
After 30 to 40 mins the application automatically started working normally. I just want to know the possible reasons for above exception. Is it a network issue or any specific reason. Thanks.
Well, as the error says it was unable to get the config from: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/.well-known/openid-configuration.
This is most likely a network issue, or a problem with Azure AD.
It could also happen if you used an invalid tenant id, but this is not the case here since you seem to have used "common" which is valid for multi-tenant apps.

Sitecore Active Directory Module

Currently we have our Active Directory (LDAP) domain controller defined in the ConnectionStrings.config file. Is it possible to configure a second domain controller, as a fail-over option?
For example, recently Domain Controller 1 failed, and I had to manually change the connection string to point to Domain Controller 2 - but the website was generating errors in the mean-time (for several hours of down-time).
We are running Sitecore version 6.5
(Sitecore.NET 6.5.0 (rev. 120706) )
No, it's not possible to configure a fail-over partner.
You could put a loadbalancer in between the two domain controllers.
You could actually do that. There are options with the AD module that allow for connecting to multiple domains and/or using multipe providers. All pipelines in Sitecore are extendable, so there's nothing to stop you from setting this up. You could easily do some custom coding to catch exceptions during login and switch to a different provider. The trick is just doing the custom coding.

Exception while accessing Active Directory and creating user [duplicate]

I need to read the Active Directory, search users and create user functionality.
I am able to use DirectoryEntry in C# and Domain is only physical server.
In my production environment, I have two physical domain servers with same domain name. When I try to search the AD user or create, I am getting the following exception.
Exception : "0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031007EF, data 0, 1 access points" [extended Error 8235]
Note that I have Domain Admin privileges on the domain but I'm still having the same issue.
0000202B: could mean wrong DN/searchbase like incorrect DC value etc.
Your problem looks like a DNS problem. I know writting that, I've got statisticaly 80% chance being right. Check the domain name resolution from your client. Check your DNS and verify that your two domain controlers are well registered.
The error you are getting is referall related:
ERROR_DS_REFERRAL
8235 (0x202B)
A referral was returned from the server.
