Windows Member Server 2008 sp1 cannot join a W2K3 domain
I can ping my primary and secondary DCs (2k3's) and gateway, but cannot join the domain. I have used DHCP and then a static IPs with no success. I have tried both FQDN and netbios authentication attempts in joining. The server has four NICs and I have tried various with also trying different ports in the switch. The NIC shows connectivity but no internet also. I have "hard-coded" the NIC with the correct IP, subnet mask, gateway, and Primary/Seconday DNS etc. I am getting a user name or password error during the joining attempt. I can resolve IP addresses from internet sites, but cannot hit them in IE7. This is not a DC. Firewall is off. Where do I look? Thanks

Hi amandowara, the 2k8 server has an available static and DNS services are NOT installed on the 2008 box. I can't see the harm in the installation of that service but I am not 100% sure. Is it ok to install without referencing it as a DNS server in the Domain, but using your fix, to clear up DNS for itself (the 2008 box)?
