Clinet PC cant fine Domain

hashmat · 10-30-2009, 04:26 AM

Hello All,

I have installed windows server 2003 with below applications.

DHCP server/DNS server/Domain controller/remote access VPN server and ISA server 2006.

after installing all these application I am able to pick up automatic IP in client PCs and PCs are able to surf internet using proxy but i am not able to add them to the domain controller of the server how ever i created a user account in active directory,i think that might be because of ISA server firewall or ....

I would appreciate it if some one could help me fix this matter.

Do you receive an error when you try to add them to the domain? How are you trying to add them and what happens when you try?

Check the DNS address in all clients(Make sure its Windows server)

On the PC you want to add to the Domain . .

Right click on My Computer . . select Properties

Click on the Computer Name

Click Change to join a domain

Type the Domain name in Domain name

Enter the administrator name and the admin password

Wait for the Notification that you are “Welcome to the xxxxxxx Domain”

Restart the pc

You will see a panel that says “Press Cntl, Alt, Del to log in to the Domain

Login as administrator with the admin password

Right click on My Computer and select Manage
Navigate thru
Local Users and Groups
Groups

Double click on Administrators

Click on Add and in the next panel type Domain Users

Ok out and Restart

Log in as the User with the user password

(User must be set up on the Server)

Copy Documents from old user account to new domain user account

Copy Favorites from old user account to new domain user account

Copy Desktop items from old user account to new domain user account

Configure Outlook mail settings. . Import .pst file from old user

To add to this....make sure that the DNS configured in your client's computer is your Internal DNS IP (which is your server's DNS) then do what simpswr suggested.
Also, any errors in your Event Viewer posted here should help us resolved your issue.
