I don't really have a homerun solution for you.
Try a netdiag /fix to repair your SRV records?

I am unable to add a Windows Server 2003 (Win2k3) machine to a Win2k domain
(server is running Windows 2000 Server SP4).
I have run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep on the Win2k machine.
Both ran successfully with no errors reported.
WinXP machines can be added to the domain with no trouble. Whether I try
to
join the domain via Computer Name tab in System properties or add as a DC
via
dcpromo, both report "An Active Directory domain controller for the domain
<NAME> could not be contacted."
I followed the troubleshooting/help steps. The query for the SRV record
returned the correct DC (we currently have only 1 server, the Win2k
machine).
All of the resource records appear to be in DNS correctly.
I ran dcdiag.exe on the Win2k3 machine and it passed most tests. However,
the "DC discovery test" failed and reported the following:
"This computer cannot be joined to the domain named [TNT]. This is because
the following DNS names (A records) could not be resolved : [m]. Ask ...
[FATAL] Cannot find DC in domain 'TNT'. [ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN]"
Our server is named merlin so I don't know why it says it's trying to
resolve [m] in the dcdiag tool. We have a simple network in a development
lab
with roughly 20 WinXP machines and static IP addresses.
Any help would be appreciated as the inability to add the Win2k3 Server to
provide IPv6 DNS is holding up development efforts. Thanks.
