Post subject: cannot join WinXP to Windows 2000 domain Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win2000>active_directory (more info?)
I have previously been successful joining WinXP PC to this Win2000 domain.
Have 2 new PCs with WinXP SP3 that will not join the domain. dcdiag.txt
output is show below. nslookup resolves the server name fine. I do not
have reverse DNS zone configured. (never needed that in past for joining PC
to this domain). I'm stumped. Any suggestions appreciated. Russell
------dcdiag.txt ___
The domain name ccs might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case,
verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the
following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain ccs:
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ccs
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
ccsserver.ccs
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Hello Russell,
What is the error message during the join process?
Also you mix a bit 2 different items, client join problem and DC diagnostic/troubleshooting
tools. So if you think there are domain problems run dcdiag, netdiag and
repadmin /showreps and post the complete output here. For the clients check
that they have the correct ip settings, subnet mask and only domain internal
DNS server. Make sure that no firewall is enabled.

Below is the error message when attempting to join domain. It finds the DC.
nslookup can resolve the DC both forward and backward, so it seems that the
A record for DC must be right.
Now, here is the odd situation. This W2000 DC (Domain1) is using another
server W2003 DC (Domain2) for it's DNS and the LAN's DHCP services. (I
think this was done so the LAN would have a single DHCP server.)
I would even be willing to move the W2000 DNS services to reside on the
Domain1 DC if that would solve problem. I'm not sure how to get all the DNS
records set up for Active Directory if not done as part of the original
dcpromo.
Any further advice appreciated. Russell

Hello Russell,
Please post the output from netdiag /v and dcdiag /v. Additional post an
unedited ipconfig /all from both servers and the client machine.

Based on the error message you provided, and assuming it is unedited and
correct, (" The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ccs"),
it apparently seems you have a single label AD DNS domain name called 'ccs'
which is apparently causing the problem. DNS requires a minimum of two
hierarchal levels. Simply, the DNS name should have been something to the
extent of ccs.com, ccs.net, ccs.russell, etc.
The NETBios name could still be CCS. No problem there, but AD solely uses
DNS. DNS single label names are extremely problematic.
XP SP2 and newer have problems querying DNS for a resolution with DNS single
label names.
There are a number of ways to fix it:
1. Build a new pristine domain and migrate everything over using ADMT. If
Exchange is installed, install it on the new domain and use ExMerge to
migrate mailboxes and pub folders.
2. Upgrade to Windows 2003 domain and use the rendom tool to rename it
properly. If Exchange is installed, it will hugely complicate this method.
3. Bandaid it, but not suggested or recommended. You may still have
problems. See the following link for more info:

I've collected all of this info. but the newsgroup will not let me post
saying it is too large. I even tryed to break it into smaller pieces, but
still was not small enough.
I really wish I could let you see it because I cannot see anything that is
wrong from these outputs.
