Re: Clients can't communicate with AD once joined.

This is most likely a dns issue. Do you have your isp defined in your
client dns? Only your AD dns server should be defined on your clients and
the AD dns server should forward requests to your isp.

Licensing has nothing to do with it.

Hiya,

I have a AD client which has 10 machines working happily with it. I built
4 new servers yesterday and they joined the domain fine. Problem is when i
try to logon using the domain for authentication it takes about 20 minutes
to logon and in the event log there are lots of errors about not being
able to find the domain controller, group policy won't run because it
can't find the domain controller etc etc..... When the machines are in a
workgroup they can ping and communicate using IP and FQDN. It will also
join the domain quite happily. As soon as those machines reboot and you
try to login via the domain it alls goes wrong. Eventually when you've
"logged in" the machine will not ping the DC either IP of FQDN. Very ODD

Oh just to complicate matters some more the 1st machine i put on the
domain works fine. The other 3 do what ive explained.

Does licensing cause these issues?

If anyone can spread some light on this i would be grateful as i've never
seen anything like this.
