   Cannot set the startup parameters for the Directory
   Replicator service. Error 1057 occurred: The account
   name is invalid or does not exist.
If your client cannot locate the primary domain controller (PDC) of the domain specified in the LANMAN.INI file, the following error appears in Server Manager:
