I have a Windows 7 Pro SP1 tablet trying to join the domain of a Windows 2003 SP2 server. I have no issues with my 2K or XP systems (about 10 total), and oddly, I have a Windows 7 desktop that had no serious issues in joining either--but I have spent much time with this unit and don't know what I am missing.
The error is: "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain."
I have performed a clean boot; Unselected TCP/IPv6; and set the DNS server Address manually, all per suggestions in various forums.
We need to get this up ASAP; thank you so much in advance...
