Hello,

Please, I would like you to help me find a solution.

We recently configured a domain with all the necessary services. I was able to join my machine to the domain, but I can't do it for other workstations. However, these workstations are able to ping the DNS server normally.

The system is Windows 2008 Server R2 Standard, and the clients are running XP SP3 and Seven SP1.

Here is the message:

"Failed to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain to which you are trying to join. Please check that this client is configured to access a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain."
Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 23.0.1271.64

    Thank you, it’s resolved

    Here is the path to follow

    KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters

    and add these two 32-bit DWORD registry keys

    DomainCompatibilityMode with the value 1
    DNSNameResolutionRequired with the value 0
    80
