Hi all
Got a win7 domain problem thats doing my head in guys, so would really appreciate a successful pointer for a resolution please. (win7 netsetup.log at foot of post.)
All dns tests OK, for FQDM etc to DC server from win7,

I’m in a situation where I have two NT4 BDCs’ on my domain (DONBUR) so have to stay in 2003 R2 interim mode, but am now in a situation where I have by-passed Windows Vista and need to start join Windows 7 professional machines to the domain.

Only one problem….Windows 7 will not join to 2003 server in Interim mode.

I have setup using Virtual PC, Windows server 2003 std in 2000 mixed mode and then a windows 7 box. In this scenario the Windows 7 box joined the domain with no problems.

I then deleted all virtual machines and setup an NT4 PDC server and upgraded it to 2003 interim mode. I then added a virtual Windows 7 pro machine and tried to join the (virtual DONBUR) domain, and got exactly the same results as when attempting to join a Win7 box on our live domain, thereby replicating in a virtual setup what is happening on our live network.
I am presented with the Computer Name/Domain Changes window:

User name prompt
Password prompt
Domain: DONBUR (below the password prompt…..indicating it has found the domain DONBUR.

But on entering the administrator and the password a window pops up saying:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain ‘DONBUR’:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Are the nodes in the same broadcast domain? What kind of Physical topology do you have going, and are you sure the VLAN's are configured and working properly?
