  We have a 2 SQL server cluster in our environment.

  I will connect via RDP to ClusterName, but I will be directed to SQLserver1, as I should.

  Users from our domain exist, but have to be manually added, we cannot browse.

  When attempting to search for domain users, I received the following message.

  The program cannot open the required dialog box because it cannot determine whether the computer named "ClusterName" is joined to a domain. Close this message, and try again."

  The workaround requires us to us the identical letter case for Logins as they were entered into Active Directory. However, I would like to resolve this issue to ensure our environment is communicating without issue.

  Any guidance is appreciated.

  I've tried to replicate what your doing on 6 different clusters, this is a network thing.

  Found a few things researching that error
