Re: Cannot join domain

If you are connecting by VPN, make sure that you have the correct DNS
suffix defined in the connection properties (in the TCP/IP Advanced
properties DNS tab).

Trying to join an XP client to AD domain via VPN I receive the
following message

(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.MYDOMAIN

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include
delegation to its child zone:


The confusing part is that the name of the domain is not actually
MYDOMAIN but MYDOMAIN.lan
When I do the nslookup query with MYDOMAIN.lan it works fine but of
course not with the .lan part removed.

So why would my initial query truncate the .lan part of the domain
name? Actually, the computer gets registered in AD but is disabled.
If I enable it manually it will automatically become disabled again
within a few minutes.

I have googled for several days now without finding any solutions.
Is it a setting in AD or DNS?
My tcp/ip settings are correct. Ie I'm pointing at the only two
existing DNS servers. I can ping everything over the VPN tunnel etc.
We are both sitting on private networks.

Thankful for any input.
