Binding string
On my laptop - I can connect to Active Directory only if I specify the binding string as WinNT://<domain name>/<server>/<user>
The server is the name of the domain control server.
Any other name beside <server> (which is the name of the domain controller server) does not work.
In normal case, the binding string WinNT://<domain name>/<user> should work.
Can anyone suggest why the domain controller server name has to be specified ?

Does your laptop belong to the domain and are you logged on to the laptop with a domain account?
If not, then the "binding" can't automatically determine what DC should be targeted.
