Workstations not able to join the domain.

Hi
I wanted  to join Windows 7 PCs to the domain and I get this error.
An active directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain Domain.Local could not be contacted. Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly. If I click the details I Note: This information is intended for a network administrator.  If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt.see the below error:


DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain "Domain.Local":

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.Domain.Local

The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
adc-001.domain.local
adc-002.domain.local
adc-003.domain.local

However no domain controllers could be contacted.

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) or (AAAA) records that map the names of the domain controllers to their IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

Not sure if my colleagues had made any changes on the DNS. Please see the attached dcdiag.txt.
My PC is connected to the same network and subnet, I am able to ping all the three DCS.
When I ping from the workstations that needs connected to domain, I am not able to ping ADC-001 and ADC-002 , but able to ping ADC-003

Any help and suggestions to trouble shoot this issue will be great. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance.

Our DNS servers are ADC-001 and ADC-002
If I do nslookup on the adc-001 server , I get
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN>nslookup
Default Server: adc-001.domain.local
Address:  10.X.X.1

nslookup on the adc-002 server , I get
H:\>nslookup
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.X.X.2

nslookup on the adc-003 server , I get
H:\>nslookup
Default Server:  adc-001.domain.local
Address:  10.X.X.1

Be interested in knowing what the primary DNS Server is for the workstation in question?

Is it set statically or DHCP?

In your attachment, the name "domian.local" is referred to, while in your post you have "domain.local".  Is this just the result of a find and replace to remove private data, or is that accurate?
