Can't add XP client to domain

[mark]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

I stumbled into this problem last night when trying to help someone out.
They had one NT4 PDC with one Win2K client as a member of the domain. They
also had 5 NT4 workstations that were set up on a workgroup. Their plan was
to upgrade all of their client pcs to WinXP and join the domain. After
performing the client upgrades, they were unable to join any of the pcs to
the domain. So in a panic this person renamed the domain without giving it
a second thought.

When I got there to try to help out, there was connectivity between all
computers and server only by IP address - no name resolution. The thing is,
I don't know how it was setup in the first place when it was working. I
added DNS and WINS to the server with no luck. I am in no way a DNS/WINS
expert, however. Win2k/2003 sets it up automatically, is there anything you
must do manually in NT?

Any tricks on adding an XP client to an NT domain?

The trick is to disable a local security policy which by
default encrypts the secure channel data. Domain
member secure channel encryption is the policy you
want to disable.

Is this on the client or server?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I have added an lmhosts file and can ping
the dc by name, but it still tells me that a domain controller for my domain
could not be contacted when I attempt to add the client to the domain.

Any other ideas?

Post your lmhosts file you can mask the names and tcp/ip addresses.

Remove the .dat extension from the lmhosts file and make
sure you have lmhost lookup enabled in the tcp/ip properties/
WINS tab. Once the file is saved in the correct directory with
the correct extension open a dos prompt and run nbtstat -R
to purge and reload the cache. Next attempt to join the domain.

Yes, unfortunately, I've followed all of the instructions found at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q180/0/94.ASP&NoWebContent=1
and still haven't had any luck. Everything looks good after running
nbtstat -R....

Make sure you are not running any personal firewalls on the
problem machine.
