fix
note
If the red circle icon appears on a domain, it cannot function as a source or destination for a GPO migration operation.
note
The domain controller used to contact the domain is set on the General property page of the domain. You can browse for a specific domain controler on that page or specify that the primary domain controller be used. You could also remove and add it again. Regardless, if GPA cannot communicate with a domain controller, it cannot use that domain as a migration target, export target, check out target, etc.
