Joining Server 2008 Domain with Server Core VM

Question
-
I'm working through the MCTS guide #70-642 and I'm stuck trying to join my server core08 machine to my domain (running server2k8 both enterprise 64-bit.
Logon failure: Unknown user name or bad password <=== My problem
I'm using my domain server admin account and the correct password.
I'm using VirtualBox. I'm pretty sure I have all the networking settings correct, I can Ping my domain from the core install as well as my domain server.
I've tried almost every netdom command variation that I could find. I just can't get past this Logon failure.
bentech.local is the domain
MSN-SC-001 is the server core machine
What I've tried:
netdom join \\msn-sc-001 /domain:bentech.local /UserD:bentech.local\administrator /PasswordD:MyDomainAdminPass
netdom join msn-sc-001 /domain:bentech.local /UserD:bentech.local\administrator /PasswordD:MyDomainAdminPass
netdom join msn-sc-001 /domain:bentech.local
and a few others.
Sorry for the lengthy first post, thanks in advance for any help.- Edited by ov3rton Tuesday, May 1, 2012 1:23 AM

Yay, I figured it out. I just had to disable the NAT adapter on the core machine. Thanks for the help everyone!

You might try dropping the .local in both domain name and username.

Hi,
Try the following command:
netdom join msn-sc-001 /domain:bentech.local /UserD:administrator /PasswordD:MyDomainAdminPass

Hi,
Please provide the Windows IP Configuration on the Server Core machine.
By the way, I tried the command in my last reply on both my server core and full installation of computers and it worked properly.
