NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 4.x

fact
NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 5.0

fix
Communication does not exist between the Repository Server and Active Directory.  The client under the credentials of the logged on user, using LDAP over TCP/IP, performs any communication with Active Directory.  Active Directory uses port 389 (and/or port 636 for communication via SSL, if configured for such).
