Check that the third machine is pointing to the same DNS Servers as the DC and that the DNS servers have a full set of _MSDCS records in the AD domain zone<br />

I'll check that. &nbsp;If the _MSDCS records were non-existant, wouldn't the other two systems have trouble joining?

I'm setting up a client's network. &nbsp;He bought 3 brand new Dell 2400's w/ WinXP Pro. &nbsp;The server is a new Dell PowerEdge 600 with Win2003 Server. &nbsp;Two of the workstations joined the domain just fine. &nbsp;The third says it ca't find the domain controller. &nbsp;However the third system is getting its DHCP addresses (and internet connectivity) just fine. &nbsp;I can also ping the server with no problems. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Only one workstation can't see Win2003 Server DC.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
