Adding a server to a AD domain

[Mark]

I am having a problem adding a server to the domain, the
following message is being shown The following error
occurred attempting to join the domain "domain name": The
network path was not found. The server in question is
located on a site that is routed through two other sites
before it gets to our domain controllers. The pcs etc in
the two other sites are not members of our domain. We
can ping our domain name by name and it resolves it to a
IP address from the server we are trying to add to the
domain. Does anyone have any idears?

Set the server to use the DNS servers in your central
office for name resolution. Or use the lmhost file with
the follwing entries:

1.2.3.4 DC_name #PRE #DOM:domain_name
1.2.3.4 "domain_name \0x1B" #PRE


where 1.2.3.4 is the ip address of one of your DC. For
the 2nd entry, make sure you have 20 spaces/characters
between the double-quotes. Then load the file with
nbtstat -R

Hope it helps,

I had a similar message once or twice. Using the qualified (mydomain.co.uk)
version of the domain worked, while the NT Domain (Mydomain) didn't.
Have you tried that?
