Re: Trouble adding pc to domain

Hmm.. ok so this pc is currently shows as a member of a workgroup (on the
local computer) correct? does it have a DNS suffix attached on the local
computer? Something that has worked for me before with a similar issue was
to remove the dns suffix (if there was one) and change the computer name,
then reboot (may not be neccessary) and then try to join the domain again.

Also, if the above doesnt work, you could try completely deleting the
network card from Device Manager and reinstalling with the newest drivers.

Just tried to reset the IP stack and that didn't help either. I can ping
public sites such as yahoo.com by name but I can not ping internal
hostnames. Any ideas on what I need to do to the dns server to resolve
this?

Thanks for the tips to check. I have tried to flush the dns and register
dns to no help. As far as the spyware/adware I have checked that as well.
The network card works as I can surf the net without any problems. I will
try to reset the ip stack and see what happens.

Hi Zach,

Here are a few things you could try on that workstation...

Is there a host file on this PC with incorrect settings?
Try a commandline ipconfig /dnsflush and then ipconfig /registerdns
You could also try a commandline netsh int ip reset c:\resetloglog.txt
which would reset your ip stack.
Try running an anti-spyware program (such as adaware) to see if some
program has hijacked your dns.
Try replacing the network card with one you know to work.

The other computers are connected via the same router. I have an mpls
network from several sites with one hub location. The computer I am
having troubles with is at the first location I am bringing online. I
have 7 other computers on the same router that connect with no problem.
Another thing I just noticed in doing some more testing is that this
problem computer will not resolve host names either. I have double and
triple checked the TCP/IP settings to make sure they are correct and
when I ping the servername it says ping request could not find
hostname.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Zach,

The other computers which can log into the domain that you mentioned,
are they in the same location and connected through the router as this
computer you are having issues with? If not, how does this computer
usually connect to your network? vpn?

I am having problems getting a pc to add to the domain. This pc is
connected to a router in another location. Other computers can log
into the domain and I added one to the domain. This is the only pc
that won't join the domain. When I try I get the following error:

Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If
you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator
that you received this information, which has been recorded in the
file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource
record used to locate a domain controller for domain mair.lunken:

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

The following domain controllers were identified by the query:

fs01.mair.lunken

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its
IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the
network or are not running.

For information about correcting this problem, click Help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
ZS
