Setting up a new system with an AD in a DC in another domain that is "sandpitted" and got this error.
"Information about the domain could not be retrieved (1355)".
Can ping the DC but the IP / Name is in my host file - it's not on the DNS.
Lots of stuff on the Internet - mainly red herrings.
The problem was the DNS "hole" - adding this DC as my alternate DNS on my Windows 7 box fixed the problem.
Update
Turns out this is not sufficient. Still get this &^%&^% problem.
Start / Control Panel / Network and Internet / Network and Sharing Centre
On LHS at top / Change Adapter Settings
Right click / Disable
You will lose your network connection!!!
Right click / Enable
All will be well until you reset your PC and then you will have the joy of doing it all again.
Use at own risk but works for me.
Enjoy!
