Re: Before adding desktops to....

Hello Eric,

On the DC you can use the default settings to connect the clients to the domain. For the ip configuration please post an unedited ipconfig /all. You have to use an ip from a private ip range not from the public internal in the domain. Also clients have to use only domain internal ip's and also DNS server. On the DC/DNS server you have to setup forwarders to the ISP's DNS server, so all clients in the domain have internet access if needed.

Best regards

It's a Win2008 DataCenter (AD DS, and I do have it connected to the
internet, during install it did ask me if I wanted/should create it a
a Delagate, but I didn't, This is my primary Master, the way I can
remove it from the internet is to change the Gateway IP or do I have
to reinstall AD DS?)..., and I will be adding a XP Pro desktop
(software Development) and a Win2000 Labtop.

Hello Eric,

I assume it's a Vista machine? Then check this all:
-Network Discovery has to be enabled
-You must have a Domain DNS server as primary on the NIC settings, NO
internet DNS servers
-Use the FQDN of the domain to join, like mycompany.com
-The time difference between vista & domain must be < 5 mn
-File Sharing has to be enabled
Best regards

Before I start adding computers to AD do I still need to turn on
Network Discovery?
