Not able to join domain

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

Hi there,

I have recently encountered a problem with joining a computer to the my
local domain.
The machine that needs to join the domain is a Win2K Server. The DC (AD
integrated) is also a Win2K Server.
In total, there are six machines on the LAN. All are working fine
(network-wise), except this one.

When I try to let it join the domain (domain name = 'Merrick') I get the
following error:

---
The following error occurred validating the name "Merrick".
This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For information about
troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems, please see the following
Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=5171

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
----

Unfortunately, any solutions listed on that page have failed to solve this
problem. Everything has been configured exactly as stated on that page, but
I still can't join the domain.

Other facts that may be of importance here:
- the machine that has to be joined to the domain is reachable from other
machines and can reach other machines.
- i can connect to the machine using remote desktop
- from the machine that has to be joined, i can not reach the internet
- nslookup from the fawlty machine returns right results, even for external
sites
- normal local network functionality seems to be ok, except where AD user
authentication is required
- when looking up the main browser or pdc using browstat.exe
(status/getmaster/getpdc) it returns the right results
- the dns settings on the fawlty machine points to the PDC only
- I have joined two other machines to the domain without any problems, so
the problem does not seem to be with the PDC
- there is only one NIC in the fawlty machine

I can't think of anything else and I hope someone here can help me.

Thanks, regards,
Jelle

Is merrick the DNS name of the AD domain?
If it is that is a major problem and you will have to make registry entries
to the DC and any machine you want to join as a member.

Hi Kevin,

No, the FQDN is 'merrick.local'. And I've tried joining the domain using the
FQDN, but only to get the same error.

Regards,
Jelle

Are all clients and the DC using only the DC for DNS? (Should be)

Run netdiag /fix & dcdiag /fix on the DC.

Kevin,

Yes, all machines are using only the internal DNS server (DC).
I've run both netdiag and dcdiag, but all tests return either 'skipped' or
'passed'

FYI: I've also posted this question in
news://microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory.
There you'll find other responses, questions and answers, but unfortunately
no final solution yet :-(

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions I could try?

Thank you, regards,
Jelle

Everything looks OK for the DC, the necessary services are running, you have
the correct zones in DNS.

Run netdiag /v on the DC to see if there are any errors and verify that
Allow dynamic updates is set to Yes or only secure updates.

Verify the XP client is using the DC for DNS only.

Jelle,

What are these services below?

> WebAdmin
> WebTool

You also have the IPSec Policy agent running. Is there an IPSec Policy in
place? If so, can you briefly describe the settings please?

I noticed SQL is on this machine too. This is a DC? It seems like an
overloaded DC. Was there Zone Alarm on this machine in the past? Are there
any Event Log errors?

Do the XP machines have the firewall turned on?

Hi Kevin,

Yes, i thought everything looked ok.

I've run the netdiag /v command on the DC. I won't post the entire results,
but here are some of them:

Domain membership test . . . . . . : Passed
NetBT transports test. . . . . . . : Passed
Autonet address test . . . . . . . : Passed
Winsock test . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
The DNS registration for main.merrick.local is correct on all DNS servers
PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server
'10.0.0.150'.
Redir and Browser test . . . . . . : Passed
DC discovery test. . . . . . . . . : Passed
DC list test . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
Kerberos test. . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
LDAP test. . . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
Routing table test . . . . . . . . : Passed
Netstat information test . . . . . : Passed
IP Security test . . . . . . . . . : Passed
IPSec policy service is active, but no policy is assigned.

It goes on, but the bottom line is: Passed.
I've also run the same command on the I-don't-wan't-to-join system with
basically the same results: every test passed or not run.

But, too be honest, I don't think the problem lies with the PDC. Mostly
because I've been able to let other machines (new & old) join the domain
without any trouble whatsoever and all other network operations work fine. I
have, however, found some weird things on the machine that refuses to join
the domain:

I can't start services WWW, SMTP or FTP: "error 126: Module could not be
found", although IIS Admin service has been started.

I have a service(!) called 'Internet Explorer' on the fawlty machine.
The description is 'Internet Explorer Management', the file is
'C:\WINNT\System32\explorer.exe' and it's set to automatic startup.

After rebooting this machine, a few entries in the system event log appear,
which may be related:

Event Source: DCOM
Event ID: 10010
The server {4991D34B-80A1-4291-83B6-3328366B9097} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7023
The Task Scheduler service terminated with the following error: Not enough
resources are available to complete this operation.

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7024
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with
service-specific error 2147952506.


It would seem that this is the source of the problem. As I'm typing this,
I'm running a full NAV virus scan. But I'm not too hopeful about the
results, since NAV has been running on this machine all along (with daily
definition updates). It would be a bit strange if it found something now
while not having found anything real-time.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks, regards,
Jelle

Hi Ace,

>> WebTool - Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool

There is no IPSec Policy configured.

And yes, this is a DC and it is indeed somewhat overloaded.
Although it is not as bad as it may seem. MSSQL is installed but not in use.
Same for the mailserver.
Currently it's only job is being a PDC.

But, too be honest, I don't think the problem lies with the PDC. Mostly
because I've been able to let other machines (new & old) join the domain
without any trouble whatsoever and all other network operations work fine. I
have, however, found some weird things on the machine that refuses to join
the domain:

I can't start services WWW, SMTP or FTP: "error 126: Module could not be
found", although IIS Admin service has been started.

I have a service(!) called 'Internet Explorer' on the fawlty machine.
The description is 'Internet Explorer Management', the file is
'C:\WINNT\System32\explorer.exe' and it's set to automatic startup.

After rebooting this machine, a few entries in the system event log appear,
which may be related:

Event Source: DCOM
Event ID: 10010
The server {4991D34B-80A1-4291-83B6-3328366B9097} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7023
The Task Scheduler service terminated with the following error: Not enough
resources are available to complete this operation.

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7024
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with
service-specific error 2147952506.

It would seem that this is the source of the problem. As I'm typing this,
I'm running a full NAV virus scan. But I'm not too hopeful about the
results, since NAV has been running on this machine all along (with daily
definition updates). It would be a bit strange if it found something now
while not having found anything real-time.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks, regards,
Jelle

Explorer.exe?? A service?? NO way... That's a red flag right there. Run an
antivirus scan, such as Stinger (from McAfee), and a spyware scan. I think
you got a bug on the machine causing all of this.
