Also, go into DHCP scope options and remove that old DC as a valid DNS server. Once done, go to the client (before joining the domain) and type: IPconfig /release and IPconfig /renew..<br />

It appears the client is not registering a HOST A record in DNS or finding the SRV record within DNS to register within AD because the server it's going to for DNS is not valid.
