Can't join Win 7 PC to domain
-
Saturday, January 14, 2012 5:54 AMMy network consists of a Win 2003 DC with a Win 2008 server and an XP client (VM) joined to the domain.
When I try to add a Win 7 PC to the domain I get the error message:
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain "dbtaylor.dev":
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.dbtaylor.dev
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
dtserver2.dbtaylor.dev
However no domain controllers could be contacted.
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) or (AAAA) records that map the names of the domain controllers to their IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

This problem common Related :
1- Direct your DNS client to DC IP. (Type DC IP Static in TCP/IP Properties in preferred DNS)
OR
2- Checking Antvirus (try disable it)
3- Checking Firewall (try disable it)

It seems that DHCP client are not able register dns record refer below link.
http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-2003/dhcp-not-updating-the-ptr-records/9499.html
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/fi-FI/winserverNIS/thread/d588af29-a6e3-40f3-9f6e-15f7762ad12c
Since Ip address is assigned by dhcp,assign Static IP address and check the same.
Also ensure that Register this connection's address in DNS is checked in the TCPIP setting of DNS tab.
Disable unrequired NIC if multiple NIC is present on the Clent PC.
Hope this helpsRegards,

Hello,
are you able to ping the DC with ip address, computername and FQDN?
Is the DC listed in the forward lookup zone with A and Nameserver record and are all SRV records located in the folder structure?
Do you use secure dynamic updates on the DNS zones?
DO you use also a reverse lookup zone for the 192.168.1.x network?

Can you try to disable local windows firewall service on both the DC and the problem client machine as well as any security software like antivirus etc temporarily to verify if they are not the cause of the problem. Verify the connectivity between DC and client first and also see to it firewall is not blocking the ports.

I can join the domain if I disable the firewall on the Win 2003 DC. How do I configure the DC's firewall for normal operation?

Hello,
for AD required ports see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772723(WS.10).aspx
You can configure the firewall ports with GPOs for the machines. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490626.aspx

I would recommend to disable the windows firewall group policy if any on DC and disable the windows firewall service.
Also ensure the required firewall port is open on h/w firewall.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772723%28WS.10%29.aspx
Later if all goes well you can deploy the window firewall again.
