Looks like a typo on the loopback address. It's always good practice to use the actual IP address of the server even if it is itself.<br />
<br />
It should be 127.0.0.1 rather than 128.0.0.1 fir the loopback address

I'm in the process of migrating our SBS 2003 to a new upgraded machine. &nbsp;when i attempt to join the destination server to the domain using dcpromo i get the following error:<br />
<br />
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain trg.local:<br />
<br />
The error was: &quot;This operation returned because the timeout period expired.&quot;<br />
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)<br />
<br />
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trg.l<wbr />ocal<br />
<br />
The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:<br />
<br />
128.0.0.1<br />
<br />
Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running.<br />
<br />
i'm able to ping the source server and have tried a few other items but I seem to have hit a wall.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
