Joining Windows 7 Professional to a Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 domain fails.
- by Vinko Vrsalovic
I have a windows 7 professional (spanish) laptop trying to join a Windows Server 2003 (english) domain. It detect correctly the SRV record, finding the proper domain controller, but then the join fails with the error message (snippet, because the error is in spanish)
An Active Directory Domain Controller for This Domain Could Not be Contacted
The DNS is correctly set, and client can ping by name and IP the server, the server can ping the client by IP. I've tested with the FW down to no avail. A host of other XP Pro clients are connected to the domain. I've restarted Net Logon and checked that Windows Time is up. Also the times are in sync between the server and the client. I'll put below diagnostics output.
I'm wondering if there's anything special to be done on either the server or the client to have a Win 7 Pro join a 2k3 R2 domain.
The following diagnostic information follows:
netdiag /q for the DC
dcdiag on the DC
ipconfig /all on the Win 7 client
netdiag /q on the DC:
