i cant joi to the domain

Hi I've got problem i can't join to the domain. I formatted all workstation
and after I can't join them to the domain. Anyone knows what is going on? I'm
really desparaited. Maybe I did something wrong with server instalation.
Windows Server 2003.

Well, not being able to join the domain is almost always related to
misconfigured DNS in the server or in the client.

Make sure the client is configured to use your W2K3 server IP for it's dns
in TCP/IP.

Make sure the server is configured to use ONLY itself for dns in the TCP/IP.

Now... as for being desparaited... hmm... sounds like something that needs
more attention than I am qualified to help with - LOL! Just kidding!

If the machine was a member of the domain before and you formatted the drive,
you will need to remove the computer account from AD and then rejoin the
domain.

This is probably a DNS problem. Run nslookup on the workstation and make
sure the DNS server that the workstation is using can resolve the domain
controller by it's FQDN (i.e. dc.domain.local)
