Would like to be able to help with your issue, but need more information.

What is the test of the error you get when you try to join the servers to the domain? In the configuration of the network adapter on each server what is the ip
address configured for DNS? In order to join the domain the server will need to be able to resolve the domain controller, make sure that the servers have a
valid IP address and that they point to a local DNS server for prefered DNS.

Thanks
