Here is the XP Pro error I get when I try to join the domain. A domian controller for the domain admin could not be contacted. Esure that the domain name is typed correctly. If the name is correct, click on the Details for troubleshooting information. Details: Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt. The domain name admin might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS. If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration. An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain admin. The error was: "No records found for given DNS query." (error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.admin For more information, click Help. Here is the testparm -sv you requested. For a short explaination of the IP's listed. We have two domains. One served by 192.168.6.1 and one by 192.168.5.1. I am currantly upgrading the 192.168.6. network to Windows 7. Or atleast trying. 192.168.4.1 is our gatway and the two servers listed above act as file servers and routers for their domains. I hope that makes sence.
