Can not get Mac x10.5 booting up from vista to join 2003 domain. Please help.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

First, let me say thanks to anyone that can help me.

Here's what going on.

Mac has bootcamp with Vista installed on it. Both server and client
have latest updates. When trying to join domain you get " the RPC
server is unavailable" most of the time, if I see this it's due to
dns not set right at the client end.

I can and have join new pcs, notebooks to this domain to confirm the
problem stays on the MAC.

I added static IP to everything and added host A rec. in DNS an can
ping every device. the Machine name is added to the server in AD once
you try join the domain. Then you get the same errors one or more, all
dealing with RPC server.


Thanks, Again

Bruce
