Windows 7 PCs are not Joining Domain
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know why the Windows 7 Pro is saying " There is a failure joining the Domain could not find DNS". I tried looking for documentation and make sureWindows Server 2003 does accept Windows 7 PC. I already gave these PCs their name on the New Users/PCs and they are not being joined.Any suggestions?Please AdviseGilberto Gomez

Did you confirm the IP address is assigned with a DNS address and that DNS address is or contains the DC?

HiI've tried this process with W7 Pro and Ultimate and neither work for me when trying to join a W2003 Server domain. Tried an XP pro client and it worked fine. I've also read many threads of this problem and have tried just about everything from nltest to dcdiag with no luck.Is there something else I can try. I figure it's something to do with how W7 talks to W2003 Server since XP clients join everytime. Help...
