Re: DNS Configuration error

I have joined 12 other computers (4 months ago) successfully and I have tried
it with all but the LAN disabled. I am also unable to reach remote web
workspace from external computers which (in my head) leads me back to dns or
something else wrong on the SBS?

Are you sure that you have all but the LAN NIC disabled? I see some tunnels
and I also see IPV6 stuff. I would get rid of that and only have the LAN NIC
active without IPV6. From my experience the reason for the error is that the
VISTA box is not using the right query and therefore cannot find the SVR
record.

Hi Claus

Both those updates you suggest are already installed on the SBS and Vista
boxes accordingly and it is not a compatability issue as suggested in the
link in the article on smallbizserver.net. It is a network configuration
error message.

What SBS version are you running (standard/premium)? 1NIC or 2 NIC

What OS is installed on the workstation? Please post an ipconfig /all

the SBS box and one of the workstations that you are trying to join.

Hi Iakov

When I try to join via http://servername/connectcomputer I get "An
error
has
occured when configuring networking settings. See your
Administrator"
however
if I try to connect to the domain manually I get the following
message
"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.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service
location
(SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain
Controller
for domain <domainname>:

The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period
expired."
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)

The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<domainname>

The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not
responding.
This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP
addresses:

(no addresses found)
Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these
are
the
correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS
servers
is
running.

For more information on how to correct this problem, click Help."

Hope this helps

the server?
