Network Name not available - domain re-join

Hi, i have a server 2012 r2 that fell off the domain, i tried to rejoin it now, and i get the specificed network name is no longer available right after it asks me for creds.

What could be the cause?

What does it point to for DNS? (It should point to a valid AD DNS server only)

I'll guess you already fixed the issue as of why the server "fell of the domain" to re-join it.

Now, when you want to re-join, you must delete the existing account on AD.

On the other hand, if you can't re-join the domain your error should be something related to that like: AD Domain Controller can not be found, user account not an administrator, etc.

The error you described is mostly encounter when you have an access to a shared resource that no longer exists or credentials do not match. And I think this is your issue and not a re-join issue.

Please double check and confirm.

When do you get that error? When you try to log in? When you try to join the domain?

When i join the domain.

I rebooted it now, and it worked fine.

Thanks.
