I want to administrate Samba 4 (Active Directory) via RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) using Windows 7. I have installed the RSAT and opened the "Active Directory Computers and Users" tool in Windows 7, but occurs this error:
Naming information cannot be locate because:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly
configured and is currently online.
I am logged in domain using a Domain Administrator User.
When I run dcdiag to debug Domain Controller, I get this error:
{COMPUTERNAME} is not a directory server.
It was not possible locate local server
Can anyone help me?

check DNS setting on your win7 machine, check that you could reach at least one domain controller by dns, ip. I think RSAT failed to contact domain controllers because of DNS issues.
Also try use NETBIOS domain name: domain, and FQDN of the domain controllers.
