@fcknkllr open a command prompt and try pinging the domain name that you
are trying to join. turn your firewall off
Thankssss! it solve my problemmm! 🙂
this is so cool…
when u need to enter the administrator of the domain, does that also work
with a regular user without administrator rights?
This is an Excellent Tutorial on Joining Clients to Domains on Private
networks. I wish this included some vision on what the settings were on the
router, so I could better understand where he got some of the numbers, But
he stated that those were correct anyways. Thank you!
awesome … I didi everything before this tutorial by I never thought of
DNS Server..
The one thing people need to understand is that Windows 7 Professional and
above (Ultimate, and Enterprise) can ONLY join domains. Home Premium, or
Starter can’t join.
You need to decide what network they will be on and that will dictate what
addresses you will give them. If they are VMs running from your personal
computer or even an ESXI server, then whatever network your computer
connects to can also be the network that the server and Win7 hosts can
connect to. You can start with the auto configuration (DHCP clients) and
see what addresses they are automatically assigned. Run and ipocnfig /all
and look for your IPv4 host address, gateway and dns addresses
Very helpful video! Thank you. I kept getting that same error and tried way
too many things to solve it.
wooooooo you just saved my ass! ty!
u just saved my ass too!!!
Great Man!!! thank you soooo MUCH.. i was killing myself finding a
solution.. thanks again.
Wow nice and slow… and it worked for me. I have a situation where I am
building a new domain in the same Network ID as an existing DC (Windows
2003). I merely changed the DNS on my client PC to the new DC. It let me
join. Might want to check the network group your DC is in… make sure it’s
Work/Private and not public. Otherwise turn off firewalls to check that
it’s not blocking DNS requests.
Wow nice
can you do a video of how to set up a server with only a switch and link it
to a client machine running windows 7?
btw the reason I ask is because I’m running a setup that is not connected
to the internet and I’d like to know how to set everything up.
I thought it was funny but I plugged in the same IP that Auto had given the
Win 7 PC and the gateway and it actually joined the domain. Why did Auto
not work? Their the same numbers… Is it because of being private? Thanks
this helped me a lot
Thanks so much! You’re a grade saver. >:)
i have problem ,how to configure client computer to reach domain in win 7

Thanks mate been browsing the web like 4 ever and yes.. Now I know DNS =
