Domain Change

[Guest]

I've been on a domain and now I am trying to change to
another domain. I have changed the domain on many PC's on
this same network and I have 4 PC's that would not let me
change the domain. I put a administrator's user name and password in
when I try to change the domain but I get the message "the
parameter is incorrect". This administrator's user name and password
worked on all the rest of the pc's.
------ A week later----------
I have changed the domain on about 40-50 pc's since this error started and
the error hasn't shown up again. The error only showed up on 4 pc's and not
anymore.
I did log into the computers as a local administrator and I used an
administrator's user name and password to log into the domain. I still get
"the parameter is incorrect" on those 4 computers.
I have logged in as a local administrator, as the user as an
administrator, as an administrator, nothing is working.

I put them into a workgroup, reboot and try to rejoin again.
This didn't work.

I have looked this error up but I
have no success in finding out the answer.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Stanley,

Where is the WINS at 10.1.1.14 coming from? And the DNS 10.1.1.14 and 32?
How many nics in your server? Can you give the ipconfig from the server
please?

Let DNS and WINS only point to its own server-IP.

DNS and WINS is pointing to its own server. We have DNS on one server and WINS on another server

 

[Marina Roos]

So where is this coming from:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.59.94.163
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.59.92.40
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.59.92.4
The 10.59-range?

Marina

DNS and WINS is pointing to its own server. We have DNS on one server and

WINS on another server

We are using DHCP and all the information (ipconfig/all) looks the same as the other pc's. I don't understand because I've configured between 300-400 pc's the same way and the all went to the other domain with no problem. The 4 pc's happened all at the same time and it happened after about 200 or so conversions.

You haven't answered my question about the 10.59-range.
