Do you have more than one network adapter showing up? If so, try disabling
all but the actual one connected to your LAN.

Is the Vista client configured to use a AD DNS server and no others?

Cannot join Vista to Windows 2003 domain

Posted: 01-11-2007, 11:02 AM

Hello,

when I try and join to the 2003 domain I get the following error

"An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC 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 have tried disabling IPv6 and restarting connection ,no joy, enable WINS
on server, WINS and NetBios name lookup on client and temporarily bring down
firewall on both client/server, no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I had exactly the same problem. Go to the properties of network adapte
on client, choose ipv4 properties, add the internal addie of the DC t
the DNS and WINS server fields, located in advanced properties.

run "nslookup domainname" from client to be sure it resolves.

HTH,

A
