new 2012 domain can't join a machine-unique sid identical
hello
I am building a new 2012 domain. I deployed a new 2012 ovf and configured a new DC.
When I try to join a machine to the domain , I get the error:
"the domain join cannot be completed because the SID of the domain you attempted to join was identical to the SID of the machine.".....
Please help.
thank you

yes, same image- wrong.
I tried sysprep without any good.
Should I do sysprep to the dc ?

No, i would not run sysprep on a active domain controller.
What did sysprep say and do? What happened after rebooting?

It asked for a new password and language but nothing changed after reboot.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you are using a the same image to create the DC as you are for clients joining, it is a good practice to "always" do a sysprep before make a computer part of a domain or using as a domain controller. If you have not gotten far with this DC, i would consider doing a sysprep on it as well.
If you do this you will need to re-create the domain.
Server 2012 is very picky on SID's and using sysprep to get machines connecting correctly. Past OS versions 2003/2008/etc did not have this issue. Simply having an image that was off the domain and adding it to the domain generates a new SID automatically (and worked in previous versions) but 2012 is more sensitive.

now when I try to connect to the domain I can't - there is a dns error.

I reconfigured dns and now it works.
thank you!
thank you!
Cool ! youre welcome.
You need to renew the SID for the member server by running sysprep.exe
And try to join again.
I suspect you use the same image for multiple machines?!
