I am migrating from Novell Netware to Windows AD. &nbsp;I am using netdom.exe to add the pc's that are locally attached to my domain. &nbsp; This works fine. &nbsp; &nbsp;BUT when I try to use netdom.exe on the remote pc's (connected via WAN links) DSL, Frame, Cable... I get an error - &nbsp;Error Code: 1355. Detail: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted<br />
<br />
The remote pc has the domain's DNS configured in it. &nbsp;What else do I need to do? &nbsp; I didn't want to have to remote control into the remote pc and manually add it to the domain. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Any ideas.
