Cannot access domain from windows 2003 client
- by Peuge
Hey all,
First off I am a novice at AD and DNS so please bear with me. This is my current situation:
I have one server which is a DC and DNS server (win2k3) - Machine 1. I have another machine which is trying to join this domain - Machine2. This machine is also a win2k3 server.
This is what I have done so far:
I have setup DNS on the DC and its tcp/ip dns is pointing to itself. On machine2 I have set its dns to point to the dc. The DNS has been setup with a forward lookup zone with the same name as the domain (accdirect.com). I can ping machine1 from the machine2 by its FQDN and ip. I have set up forwarders on the DC for our ISP dns and can browse the internet on both machines. In the DNS mmc on the DC I can see a host (A) has been created for machine2.
The problem is I still cannot join the domain. When I try join the domain via my computer - properties then it brings up the username/password box and after I go "ok" it says cannot find domain accdirect.com
If I run this from machine2
dcdiag /s:accdirect.com /u:accdirect.com\admin /p:
then I get the following:
Performing initial setup:
** Warning: could not confirm the identity of this server in
the directory versus the names returned by DNS servers.
If there are problems accessing this directory server then
you may need to check that this server is correctly registered
with DNS
[accdirect.com] Directory Binding Error 1722:
Win32 Error 1722
This may limit some of the tests that can be performed.
Done gathering initial info.
On the dc all dcdiag and netdiag results pass.
If anyone could help me I would really appreciate this! Sorry if any of my terminology is a bit off, I have only been doing this for two days.
thanks
Peuge
