w2K3 svr Join Domain failed

I have
w2k3 std srv: A, B,
winXP: C, D

A is the first domain controller
C, D join the domain OK
B cannot join the domain saying: network cannot be found.


(E-Mail Removed)

Are the 2003 clients set up to use the AD server's DNS server?

Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, on 2003 client, the ipconfig -all shows that the DNS
Server is the AD server's IP which is the only DNS server.
The network is ok, I can ping the DNS IP.
I have gone through the KB's trouble shooting, it does not
help on this case. Thanks for helping again.
Sincerely,
David Tam

Hi,

Try using the NetBIOS name of the domain instead of the full name, for
example "test.local" would just be "test"

Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply. I ended up reinstall W2K3
Server. It works now. I think the problem is password
security setting issue. Before reinstall, the first
installation I picked the password that don't need strick
measure, such as must have a Capital, number, etc.
Sincerely,
David Tam
