Windows 7 Virtual Machine can not join the windows 2008 server
Windows 7 Virtual Machine can not join the windows 2008 server
- Hi, All
I had a windows 2008 server configured as DHCP and installed Hyper-v. I also installed a windows 7 ultimate virtual machine. I bridged the wireless and network adapter. So, my virtual machines can access the internet. The DHCP is configured with IP 127.0.0.1. My windows XP VM can join the domain, but I had troubles in joinning windows 7 to the domain. The error is 'network path not found'. However, I can see the domain controller computer and xp machine in the network of windows 7 and I can connect to them. I also can ping the server and other computers in the network. I disabled IPv6. It is still does not work. My windows 7 is evaluation version. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, we don’t recommend that you install any other applications/roles on Hyper-V host machine, and we don’t support wireless network adapter on Hyper-V.

- 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. It means "this machine". That is fine on the DC itself, but client machines must use the IP address of the DC/DNS server for the DNS address.

- Hi Bill;
Thanks for your great help. I can join Win7 to the domain and remote it after I use the IP adress of DNS in windows 7 network connection. One more questions. Why the XP and Win7 have different IP for DNS when I ping the domain server? The win 7 gives 192.168.xx.xx, but the winxp gives 66.116.xx.xx.
Thanks a lot!
