Windows Domain
page:
•
Domain type
: Active Directory
•
Domain name
: abc.def.xyz.com
•
Primary Domain Controller
:
Preferred option if DNS is working: Use DNS discovery
If DNS is not working well or if you cannot ping abc.def.xyz.com,
then use the IP address of the PDC explicitly.
If you cannot ping the domain name abc.def.xyz.com, you may
not join successfully unless you can resolve abc.def.xyz.com
using the command:
# host abc.def.xyz.com ip_address
where the
ip_address
is the IP address of DNS as specified at the
bottom of the network page.
•
Organizational Unit
:
This is optional. There is usually a default organizational unit
such as "Computers". If you want to join to an organizational unit
that is different from the default, then enter the name of that
organizational unit as seen in MMC.
•
Administrator Name
: user1
•
Password
: <enter password>
Troubleshooting ADS Join Issues
3
For troubleshooting purposes we will assume the sample settings in
Joining a Domain using a Domain User Credential
were used to join the
domain
abc.def.xyz.com
through the remote management pages, but the
operation failed. This assumption is important in that all the necessary
settings were already written in relevant files and you can log on the
server to perform a number of tests to determine the root cause.
Note:
You must use a fully qualified domain name;
character case is not important.
