Re: Problems to add PCs to domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you haven't already, make sure you try a gpupdate /force on the PC - if
you're only just adding it to the domain it may take time to replicate
policies.

Also, preferable way to reset a computer account is via AD, find the
account, right click - reset - this should clear the info for you and force a
refresh (I think)

Cheers,

Hello Walter P.,

If policies are not applied correctly, it can have problems with DNS, so
please post an ipconfig /all from one problem machine and the DC?DNS server
of your domain.

Hello Walter P.,

Should a normal domain user add the computer to the domain? Or do you
add them to the domain yourself and the users can not login with
theire user account?

Hi all,

I have a Win 2003 Server, with about 50 PCs (XP Pro SP2) into the
domain. My problem is when I try to add a couple of PCs to the
domain.
I normally add them thru My Computer - Computer Name - Change -
Member Of... reboot.
There, there is no problem, but when a user logs in, with his domain
user, you can see that the GPOs are not applied, and that the PC
cannot "see" the domain (for instance, to assign rights to domain
users)
Nevertheless, the PC appears in the Computers OU and its full name
includes the domain...
I have tried to re-add the PC several times, deleting the PC account
from the AD, but it is the same.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Ppl!

To reply to your questions:

1: We are using static IPs
2: The Admin user is the only that manages users and computers,
therefore, only with that user we add, modify and delete computer and
user accounts
Thanks to all
