I have a screenshot of the error here:
http://www.geocities.com/blinton25/VistaDomainError.JPG
Running a network consisting of Windows XP computers which validate against
a Server 2003 domain controller. The domain name is in the form vm.com (which
isn't a domain we own or control, we actually own vm.com.ct, long story but
it works so no one ever changed it).
When a Windows Vista Business computer is connected to the network, it
defaults to Workgroup, but when I attempt to join it to the domain using the
wizard or manually, the error at the website above is displayed.
The wizard asks for a valid user account on the domain, and when this
provided it moves on to the next step, which is to ask for a computer name
which is a member of the domain (I created AdminMobile on the Server 2003).
The error then occurs
I suspect that the Vista machine is connecting to the vm.com address rather
than the local server, but I am suprised that the XP machines don't do this.
If this is the case, then I am thinking to change the domain name to vmcomtt.
Have I made the correct diagnosis?
