Active Directory Domain Services

[mornej]

I am currently new to servers

 

I have configured and setup the domain controller.

 

When I try and connect windows 7 it give the following error:

 

An attempt to resolve the DNS name of the 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.

 

 

Please can someone help me with this.

 

 

Thanks

Is the Win7 machine configured to get a DHCP address and DNS IPs from the domain? If so, is the machine actually pointing to the correct DNS server? If the Win7 machine is not pointing to one of the domain DNS servers, adding it to the domain will fail. You can manually configure the DNS server if you need to.
