It's possible that this is being caused by the lack of IPC$, ADMIN$, or C$
shares on your domain controller. These missing shares have been known to
occur due to malware on the server

1. Run an antivirus scan on the computer using the latest definitions.
After completing the antivirus scan, check the system for other types of
malware, such as spyware or hacker tools.
        
2. Check the AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks registry values to make sure
they are not set to 0:
        1. Start Regedt32, and locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
                                
        2. If the AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks DWORD values exist with a value
data of 0, set them to 1 or delete them.
                    (Doing this will invoke the default behavior which is
to create the admin shares automatically.)
        3. Quit Registry Editor.
        4. Restart the computer and make sure the shares are active.
3. To check for the admin shares, run NET SHARE at the CMD prompt. If the
system is clean of malware, and the AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks
registry values are not set to 0, the system should create the shares
automatically at startup.

4. If the system does not create the admin shares automatically, you can
recreate them manually:
        net share ipc$
        net share admin$
        net share c$

Please let me know if this helps.
