Error opening console "The SID for the user account could not be resolved" (4225382)

Attempting to open the Active Administrator Console, an error occurs, "An error occurred while attempting to connect to the AFS server. The SID for the user account [DomainName\ServerName] could not be resolved because the domain could not be contacted. This issue is sometimes temporary. Please try starting the Console again".

The credential being used to open the Active Administrator Console, or the credential being used to run the Active Administrator Foundation Service (AAFS) may have been removed from the Domain Admins security group. This can also occur if the account that the AFS service runs as had its password changed.

1. Open Active Administrator Server Manager (AASM)
2. Click 'Set Account...' next to 'Set AFS and ADS startup account'
3. If the password for the account has changed enter the new password or change the account to an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group
4. Once the service restarts, click the Clear AFS Cache button

If issue persists, reboot the Active Administrator server when possible, and run the AA Configuration Wizard.
