unable to add member servers

[Guest]

I have a small network with one DC and two member servers. All computers can ping by name and IP so I have communication across the network. I cannot add the member servers to the domain! When I am at the console of one of the member servers loggin in, the domain says that this computers account is not part of the domain. What are some things I could look at?

Dns configuration would be the first thing to check. Make sure the domain
controller has a static IP address and it points to iself only as it's
preferred dns server in tcp/ip properties. All domain computers and those
you wish to join to the domain must point to the domain controller only as
their preferred dns server. Dcdiag for domain controllers and netdiag for
all computers can be very helpful in troubleshooting such issues. These
tools are on the install cd in the tools/support folder where you will need
to run the setup program. See links below for more information.
