Joining Windows 10 to Windows 2012 (non R2) domain

Hi, I'm working on a domain powered by a Windows 2012 (non R2) domain controller. For some reason, I'm having trouble joining a Window 10 Pro machine to the domain. The Windows 10 machine tries to join and then get an error saying that it can find or resolve the domain.

Does Window 2012 support Windows 10 client?

Thanks in advance and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi John and McKnife,

I have tried to flushdns, that didn't work. But I will try net ip reset and net stop dnscache followed by flushdns.

@McKnife - DNS entry is correct. I tried both FQDN and domain. Also uninstalled the 3rd party firewall. None of the those fixed it.

Both Win 7 and Win 8.1 join with no problem. I will double check to see if the client machine is Window 10 Pro.

Thanks!

It won't be home since home cannot even try to join.
Please ping the domain name and see if it resolves. Like in
ping yourdomain.local

I was to figure a resolution internally.
