>Hello Ace,
When i tried joining 1 win xp client this got joined &
when i tried joining 2nd winxp client it gave me the above
mentioned error.
I am using internal dns which is installed on the
148.172.135.11 domain controller & the domain name i am
using is "domainname.com"
I can see 4 types of srv records under ad zone. &
148.172.135.11 is not a public dns server.
I am surprised that my 2nd winxp client failed to join the
domain with above error. why.???
I am not at the site to provide you the ipconfig/all at
the moment because the site is 500 kms. away from where i
am ..
Hope the above information provides you to come to a
resolution.
