Re: cannot join WinXP to Windows 2000 domain



Below is the error message when attempting to join domain. It finds the DC.
nslookup can resolve the DC both forward and backward, so it seems that the
A record for DC must be right.

Now, here is the odd situation. This W2000 DC (Domain1) is using another
server W2003 DC (Domain2) for it's DNS and the LAN's DHCP services. (I
think this was done so the LAN would have a single DHCP server.)

I would even be willing to move the W2000 DNS services to reside on the
Domain1 DC if that would solve problem. I'm not sure how to get all the DNS
records set up for Active Directory if not done as part of the original
dcpromo.

Any further advice appreciated. Russell

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain ccs:
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ccs
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
ccsserver.ccs

Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Hello Russell,

What is the error message during the join process?
Also you mix a bit 2 different items, client join problem and DC
diagnostic/troubleshooting
tools. So if you think there are domain problems run dcdiag, netdiag and
repadmin /showreps and post the complete output here. For the clients
check
that they have the correct ip settings, subnet mask and only domain
internal
DNS server. Make sure that no firewall is enabled.

Best regards

I have previously been successful joining WinXP PC to this Win2000
domain. Have 2 new PCs with WinXP SP3 that will not join the domain.
dcdiag.txt output is show below. nslookup resolves the server name
fine. I do not have reverse DNS zone configured. (never needed that
in past for joining PC to this domain). I'm stumped. Any suggestions
appreciated. Russell

The domain name ccs might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the
case,
verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then
the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS
configuration.
