this has been bugging me for a few days now, and maybe somebody here will have seen this one before. I have a win2k3 enterprise server that is acting as both my domain controller and internal DNS server. netbois is enabled on both the workstation and the DC server. the windows firewall service is disabled on both as well. neither are running any software firewalls (theyre installed, i just have them shut down to try and join the xp box to the domain).
the problem is that i cannot get the xp pro box joined to the domain. it has been joined to the domain of a previous workplace before, and i dont know if a box can be joined to multiple domains (though i dont see where that would be a problem). the error i keep getting on the xp box is: “The following error occurred attempting to join the domain ‘mydomain’: Access is denied.” now the user creds that i am using for the join is a domain user on the DC that is a member of both the Administrators and the Domain Admins groups.
so what in the world is it that im doing wrong here? (or is it something ive overlooked and not doing at all?) if anybody can shed some light on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
