Installing Windows Server 2008 R2 -client pachine connection problem
| Posted by bambinou, 05-15-2012, 08:08 AM |
| Hi,
I have created a Domain controller, dns and domain called ben.local
Right now I am on the client machine and try to set ben.local as the "member of the domain". I am getting this error:
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "ben.local":
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ben.local
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
192.168.1.254
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
ben.local
local
. (the root zone)
Any idea why I have to do please? It is the first time I use active directory.
Thank you,
Ben

| On the machine you're trying to add to the domain, is it using the IP address of the domain controller for DNS lookups?

| As nametech says, which DNS server is the workstation using?
Also have you done the obvious stuff like check you can ping the server. Are you sure the DNS sever is listening (binded) on the correct interface
