Step 1: Turn off caps lock, no need to yell.

Step 2: Give us more information (What errors, your setup, is the problem specific to one PC or multiple, etc)

As much info as possible if you want help.

Hi SHRIYANSH

We wonder if there is any luck your issue has been resolved, if you've found solution by yourself. We would appreciate it if you could share with us and we will mark it as answer.

If the issue still persists, some required information might be needed for us to help you.

first thing you need to concentrate
a) your dns server settings , provided the correct dns server ipaddress

b) please do ping from your client to the DC to check if your system is avialable and able to ping

c) please do perfrom ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns and check

d) if above didnt work , then you need to unjoin from the domain and try to rejoin it

e) according to your error message and check if this happening only wiht one client or with all the clients.

f) please do check the DC as well if it is servicing the requests.

Regards

D. Wu

You can find extensive troubleshooting steps for domain join errors here on the TechNet Wiki.

If you are using Windows 8.1 and not Windows 8.1 Professional or Windows 8.1 Enterprise, you will be unable to join a domain with this edition of Windows 8.1. See the Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Professional comparison.
