Hello V.Sathishkumar,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

1. Check for Recent Changes: Since this issue started recently, check if there have been any changes in the domain configuration, such as updates, policy changes, or permission modifications.
2. Use Logging: Implement logging to capture more detailed error information. This can help identify the exact cause of the issue.
3. Test with Different Context Types: Try using different context types or specifying different containers to see if the issue persists.

PrincipalContext principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "yourDomain", "OU=Users,DC=yourDomain,DC=com");

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
