hey there, first off apologies for any stupid typo's - i'm using a laptop witht the smallest keyboard ever!
Right, to my problem. I'm trying to get a new laptop (this one) joined onto the domain at work, however i keep gettin an error message stating that the domain controller could not be contacted. when i click on the 'more details' button, the following text is displayed:
"Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.
The domain name xxxxx might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain xxxxx:
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.xxxxx
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
xxxxx
. (the root zone)
For information about correcting this problem, click Help."
I can still get access to the internet but not to anhy network drives or printers. An identical laptop that was purchased at the same time as this one can get onto the domain with no problems so i'm somewhat purplexed as to how to resolve the issue. To make matters worse our in house IT guy here can't seem to find a fix either!
Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
