Dear all

Background:
The network has three site, HongKong, London and Japan.
All sites will be connected by VPN Link.
Each site will has their own DC under same forest and
domain. HK Site DC and London Site DC Joined the

domain and became DC without problem.

However, Japan Server cannot join the domain. In the
Netsetup.log of japan server, we found the

following error....

--------------

The DNS seting in TCP/IP of japansvr is set to the HK DNS
which is Active Direcotry enabled.
In japansvr, we can map drive to HK hard drive or HK
Server can map the japan hard drive too.

Anyone has idea how to fix it?


I find another netsetup.log of another site which
successfully joined the domain that it use

instead of using

on '\\hksvr.domain.com' for 'japansvr$'

failed: 0x8b0
