Hello Osvier, We need to collect Network Monitor trace to identify the root cause. 1.Please install Netmon 3.3 on your domain controllers and the problematic member server. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=983b941d-06cb-4658-b7f6-3088333d062f 2.Right-click the Netmon icon and select Run as Administrator to launch NetMon3.3 on domain controllers and the member server. 3.In the Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3 window, click Create a new capture tab. 4.In the new tab, select all the Network Adapters in the Select Networks window. 5.Press F10 to start NetMon. 6.On the member server, try to join the domain to reproduce the issue. 7.After the issue occurs, please go back to the NetMon window and press F11 to stop the NetMon on both computers. 8.Press Ctrl+S to save the Netmon files.

Hello, according to the ipconfig the used DNS server on the NIC is wrong. DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.8 DC server1 is stated with 192.163.0.8 at the beginning, see the difference between x.163.x.x and x.168.x.x Or is that a typo?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Thank you so much both of you for helping me! Meinolf Weber you're right, I just changed the domain to 163 and it really worked! Thank you!
