Hello Every one,

I am creating a Lync Deployment Setup for testing purpose.

I have promoted one server to domain controller with the domain name as "lynclab.local". I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system. Now the server name is domaincontroller.lynclab.local and it is hosting AD DS and DNS services.

 Now for installing SQL Server on another server, I need to add the Server computer to the domain. But when I enter the domain name and press enter, It asked me to enter the Credentials to log on to Domain Controller. After entering the Administrator Username and Password I am getting an error message saying: "The following error occurred when attempting to join lynclab.local. The network path was not found".

I have tried all the possible solution from other websites but could not resolve. Even I tried to do all the things from starting but still getting the same issue.

I have 5 more servers and I could not join any of the servers to domain.

Looking for help........

Thanks and Regards,

Noor Hussain.

Hello,

please post the output of "ipconfig /all" from the DC and from the Server you want to join to the Domain.

If issue persists, please try disabling the firewall and Antivirus Application (if any) for a while, then try again.

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

Hello,

that looks wrong. The gateway 0.0.0.0 isn't valid. Please try again after deleting this wrong entry.

If it doesn't work after deleting please try to ping "domaincontroller" in a CMD on the client to see if you can reach the DC.

Greetings,

Actually that gateway entry I have changed after I was unable to join the computer to domain. correcting it back also didn't worked.

Firewall is disabled on all the servers, since it is a test setup I have disabled all the firewalls.

I could able to ping domain controller from the client. Also I can ping the domaincontroller.domainname.com

I can ping only domainanme.com also, in my case bahubali.com.

Pinging from client to DC and also DC to client works well.

Output of nslookup from client machine:

C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup

Default Server:  domaincontroller.bahubali.com

Address:  199.30.16.173
