The domain is called 'HHF'
When i press HHF i get prompted for username and password
When i press HHF.local i do not get prompted.
Dustin_Loftis
Is it HHF.local, or .int or something else?

You should try assigining the machine a static IP & DN and then try joining the domain. Once joined you can then reset the PC to use DHCP.

Hi,
Can you try disabling the windows firewall on the domain controller & the machine you are trying to join?

Hi!
No firewall is enabled on both machines.
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

Hi,
This could be due to Windows 7 local security policy
On the machine joining the domain can you do the following:
click start, type local and open the Local Security Policy Manager.
Select Local Policies -> Security Options, in the right find "Network Secuity: LAN Manager Authentication Level" and set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".
And then try it...

Can you also check that the DNS server on the Domain Controllerhas the _msdcs, _sites, _tcp and _tdp zones setup in the Local Domain? If they are not there you can run "netdiag.exe /fix" to re-create the DNS entries required.

When you attempt to join the domain just enter HHF as the domain - do not add the suffix

richardburwood: I did what you suggested ! "Select Local Policies -> Security Options, in the right find "Network Secuity: LAN Manager Authentication Level" and set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"."
^ No luck
Can you also check that the DNS server on the Domain Controllerhas the _msdcs, _sites, _tcp and _tdp zones setup in the Local Domain? If they are not there you can run "netdiag.exe /fix" to re-create the DNS entries required.
^ Where do i run this command ? I tried from a cmd prompt to use netdiag.exe /fix But it dosent accept the command! - i do not use the suffix.
KCT I try to login to the HHF domain and get prompted for username and password.

Hi JarIK,
If you login to the Domain Controller and click Stert -> Administrative Tools -> DNS the system willopen the DNS Management Console. Under the name of your domain controller there is a folder called "Forward Lookup Zones". In this folder there will be an entry for your Active Directory Domain (HFF). Open this and there should be several more folders (sub-domains) under this domain. There should be entries for _msdcs, _sites, _tcp and _tdp. Do these exist? If they don't you can re-create the dns settings using "netdiag.exe /fix". FYI: To use netdiag.exe you need to install the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools (on the Windows CD). The support tools also contain dcdiag.exe that may be of use. (See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758202(WS.10).aspx)

When i run this command - can the network in someway go down ?
I dont want to rick this right now!

Good Question... I'm not sure... I did find this online:
"What does netdiag /fix do
Netdiag /fix switch is very useful tool to correct issues with DNS and domain controller tests. 1. DNS Test: If the computer is a domain controller, Netdiag verifies all the DNS entries in the Netlogon.dns file to determine if they are correct and updates the appropriate entries if there is a problem. 2. Domain Controller Test: If the domain GUID cached in a local computer on your primary domain is different than the domain GUID saved in a domain controller, Netdiag tries to update the domain GUID on the local computer."
Looking at this it should not make a difference to the restof the network as it is only verifying DNS setup and adding the correct entries as required. However the decision is yours...
