I tried and it works with me, this is the correct cmd, it seems you have a problem contacting your domain.

since you asked about a command and the command is provided to you, this question must be closed, and you can ask in a separate question on how to troubleshoot the problem.

can u answer me the other question i asked you about manualy joining a computer to  a domain

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

The question has either no comments or not enough useful information to be called an "answer".

he asked about a cmd to join a PC to the domain and an example and I replied him with the correct comment after testing it to join a PC to windows 2008 domain, below is my comment:

Add-Computer -DomainName Dascase.com -credential dascase\administrator

when you run this cmd, it will ask you to type the password, try and inform me please


so this is the correct answer to his question, and since he received an error, this is another issue and need troubleshooting, he can ask about it in a separate question.

the correct answer is in the comment which has the ID 40809783, the asker only asks about a cmd to add a computer to a domain and I provided it to him after successfully test it.
