After installing Profiler, your first run of config.cgi will attempt to auto discover your domain settings (forest, GCs, DCs).  This auto discovery funciton expects your DNS server to be a DC.  If your DNS server is not a DC, you will receive the following error:

get_forest: Could not connect to Domain Controller: 1.2.3.4

If your DNS server is other than a DC, please contact Support@dirwiz.com for an updated version of Profiler which is able to skip this auto discovery and allow you to configure your domain settings manually.
