I have two servers on VMWare. One is a standard install of Server 2008 r2 and the other is Server 2008 core.
Server 2008's IP is: 192.168.186.135
and computer name is: SERVER01
. This is a domain controller and has DNS installed along with Active Directory. The domain is called: contoso.com
Server 2008 Core's IP is: 192.168.186.137
and computer name is: SERVER02
They can both ping each other, but when I try running the following:
netdom join SERVER02 /domain:contoso.com
Results:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
The command failed to complete successfully.
I'm thinking it might be a DNS issue? I'm new to servers and I am teaching myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
