#155763

Hi all,
Get the following error when attempting to join windows 7 client to server 2008 R2 server hosting AD integrated DNS, DHCP

In the computer name domain changes window:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain jeclafamilia.com
The network path was not found..

Troubleshooting wise
Netgear router is Def Gway of 192.168.0.1
Server is TheBeast with ip 192.168.0.2 with domain of jeclafamilia.com
Client is minibeast with ip 192.168.0.3
dns suffix on client is jeclafamilia.com
Can ping/tracert to server ok..
nslookup gives the following

C:UsersOWNER>nslookup
Default Server: thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

> set type=all
> minibeast
Server: thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

minibeast.jeclafamilia.com internet address = 192.168.0.3
> exit

C:UsersOWNER>

Appropriate A and host record exists under zone for domain
Same as for PTR under reverse lookup

dnscmd /enumzones on server side shows 2 standard zones…

C:UsersAdministrator>dnscmd /enumzones
Enumerated zone list:
Zone count = 3
Zone name Type Storage Properties
. Cache AD-Domain
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa Primary AD-Domain Secure Rev
jeclafamilia.com Primary AD-Domain Secure

Command completed successfully.
Disabled firewalls on both sides
On client side have done this
C:UsersAdministrator>nslookup
Default Server: thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
> set type=all
> _ldap._tcp
Server: thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
_ldap._tcp.jeclafamilia.com SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
thebeast.jeclafamilia.com internet address = 192.168.0.2
> _ldap._tcp.default-first-site-name._sites
Server: thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
_ldap._tcp.default-first-site-name._sites.jeclafamilia.com SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = thebeast.jeclafamilia.com
thebeast.jeclafamilia.com internet address = 192.168.0.2

Just used own DNS server ip under TCP/IP settings as root hints are set up on server side ok..
Any suggestions please?
