An Attempt To Resolve The Dns Name Of A Domain Controller In The Domain Being Joined Has Failed.

[TonyEGLUndergrond]

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "egl-underground.mainframe":

 

An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain.

 

I am running windows server 2008 R2 trying to connect with a windows 7 computer.

I have already set the DNS in my computer to the Server running DNS Server (same as DC server)

I can ping the server, i can nslookup the FQDN aswell with no problems.

 

Any help?

I had a problem like this recently and had to delete the NIC from the device manager on the workstation and then restart the machine and reinstall the NIC.

 

You might also try to do an nslookup for the domain controllers:

At the command prompt enter nslookup

set type=srv

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.name

 

Your domain controller(s) should be listed if configured correctly. (Replace domain.name with your actual domain name)
