[2015-03-12 17:20:19,371][INFO ][default.com.arcsight.agent.gd.nb][createActiveDirBaseDn] Domain is not set correctly [example], baseDN is empty
[2015-03-12 17:20:19,371][ERROR][default.com.arcsight.agent.util.m][createParameterVerificationMessage] Error [Active Directory Base DN is empty]. Possible Solution [Please configure parameter [Domain Name] appropriately]
Fix
It was not able to connect to AD because the Domain name has to have a fully qualified name for domain, for example, example.com; then Base DN is constructed from this name and used to connect to AD. AD server could be IP, but not Domain name.
Compare to WUC - Base DN was a parameter on the screen, that we could also construct from the Domain name, now it is just constructed from the domain name.
