Not sure if this is a domain controller issue or a DNS issue, but for some reason I cannot get my workstations to join my domain. My DC and my Exchange server are the same, and I have DNS running on this server as well. I can get email perfectly (though outlook 2007 cannot seem to find the server for the out of office assistant) and can access any and all shares on the server, ping by name and by IP.
Below is what I get when I do a DCDIAG on the server ( sorry its long):
C:\Documents and Settings\jason.LIGHTHOUSE>dcdiag

The host d7656a0c-ec8f-431b-a213-0d7659a7521d._msdcs.lighthouse.local c
ould not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(d7656a0c-ec8f-431b-a213-0d7659a7521d._msdcs.lighthouse.local)
couldn’t be resolved, the server name (Mail.lighthouse.local) resolved
to the IP address (192.168.2.51) and was pingable. Check that the IP
address is registered correctly with the DNS server.
