HI, i'm preparing the 70-460 exam server admin i'm using Vmware workstation to install the servers 1. i install win server 2008 and configure the active directory domain services (domain name contoso.com) 2. i install win server core 2008(server name server02) now i want to join the domain name contoso.com but i can't join the domain here's how i used the command : netdom join %computername% /domain:CONTOSO.COM /userd:<CONTOSO\ADMINISTRATOR /passwordd:* The system cannot find the path specified can anybody tell me what im doing wrong ?? Thanks

This question may be moved to Windows Server 2008, part of the community? Have you checked the settings for DNS? netsh interface ipv4 show config to add a DNS server netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name="<interface name>" address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Index=1 to add a secondary DNS change Index to 2 maybe a firewall issue/ Kind Regards Johan Zetterstrm

From the command prompt type the following with: netdom join ComputerName /domain:DomainName /userd:UserName /passwordd:* A couple things to note here: Depending on how you have configured your DNS settings you may have to put the FQDN in for the DomainName Note: please try to ping the DC from the server core and also point the dns server correctly.http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

HI Mbasha, In your command, there is an extra character "<" after /userd. Please remove it and run this command again. netdom join %computername% /domain:CONTOSO.COM /userd:CONTOSO\ADMINISTRATOR /passwordd:* Hope this helps. Regards, Bruce
