Cannot join domain

by tom.greendyk . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

I’ve recently set up a W2K server to be a domain controller, DNS server, and a DHCP server. I thought I’d set it all up properly, but I can’t join the domain from an XP Pro workstation. I suspect it’s something basic I’m missing in the DNS setup.Anyway, I get the usual error saying domain controller for the domain xxx.com cannot be found. In the Details screen, it says the following:

“The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used tolocate a domain controller for domain XXX.COM:

The error was: “DNS name does not exist.”
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.XXX.COM

Common causes of this error include the following:

– The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

– One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

XXX.COM
COM
. (the root zone)”

Can someone help? Thanks!
