It's not a must if you can ping the server by a different name.

for calling domain name though ldap fully qualified domain is must or not??

That is why your LDAP call is failing when you call the server by name. If you can't ping it by that name, then you won't be able to do anything else with by that name. You'll have to find out from your network team what the fully qualified name of the LDAP server is. It may be something like "ajcserver.yourcompany.com". Alternatively, as a quick fix, you could add the following line to the hosts file (on XP it's at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts): 196.1.1.253 ajcserver This should allow you to access the LDAP server by name from your local PC.

my dns name is server1 and my active directory domain name is ajcserver. i can ping using server1. but i can't ping through ajcserver. ie, ping ajcserver, when i ping in this way "ping request could not find host ajcserver" is showing

You might have a DNS issue. Can you ping "ajcserver" using that name? See if you can find out what the fully qualified name of the server is and try that instead.
