Can you ping the FQDN of the domain itself (ie. ping domainname.local) and have it return the IP address of the VM running Essentials? &nbsp;If not I would look to DNS.

Yes. &nbsp;I get the IPV4 address of both VM2 on one another and from my laptop plugged into the network. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I built up new VMs for the two machines, in case something was not right with the first DC on the system.

I am setting up a new server with Hyper-V. &nbsp;The server has two VMs:<br />
<br />
VM1 - Server 2012 Essentials<br />
VM2 - Windows Multipoint Server 2012<br />
<br />
I am trying to join the WMS machine to the domain via control panel/system and get the error the domain cannot be found. &nbsp;I can ping, UNC and get to the connect page via the host name, but cannot join the domain.<br />
<br />
VM2 has a static IP address and gets DNS from VM1. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Could use some advice on how to get WMS to see the DC.<br />
