Re: Vista cannot connect to 2003 server

Assuming you use NetBIOS name to join the domain, have you tried to use FQDN? Or this search result may help.

What do you mean "i cannot authenticate to a 2003 server. YET i can map drives, nslookup is fine, i can ping everything"? Do you mean you can logon local computer and then map the drive? Or you can't join the domain?

Hope this is the right newsgroup.

Have a weird situation. On my first Vista pc i cannot authenticate to a 2003 server. YET i can map drives, nslookup is fine, i can ping everything, and XP pcs log on with no problem (and have been for years).

The actual error is that the DNS of the DC in the domain has failed. I don't think this has anything to do with DNS based on what i said. Regardless, i have deleted, reinstalled, tc.

Anyone have any idea.s
