Windows Domain join issue
-
It's been forever since I have worked with Windows domains. But today, I have to join a Windows 10 PC to a domain. I keep getting the error:
"The specified network name is no longer available."Primary DNS is set to the DC IP on the PC .
Pinging domain name gets a reply from the DC IP as expected.I know this is something simple, but I am not finding it.
Any ideas?

I recall something a while back with AV issues. But are you using the FQDN? domain.local or domain.whatever ?

I tried turning Windows Defender off. That's the only thing on this PC. I am using the ad.domain.net
Worth noting: I joined 2 other PCs to this domain a few weeks ago. I'm trying to remember if I made any recent changes that would have caused this but can't think of any...

Check that DC, make sure it's point to itself or another DC for it's DNS

I just checked. It is pointing to itself.

You may have to install the SMB v1 client - Control Panel -> Programs --> Turn Windows Features on or off --> SMB 1.0....and SMB 1.0 Auto Removal if SMB 1 isn't used for 15? days
-
Is that DNS name already joined?
I would slightly change the DNS name, reboot, and try to join again.
-
@pirho99 's post makes me think... what version of Windows 10?
I noticed my recent install of 2004 has SMB v1 disabled, 1909 does not.

never had that be a problem before - it just steals the slot, but then again, I'm using a domain admin account to do the join, if he's not, that could be the issue.

I'm using Win10 Pro 1909 @pirho99 I just enabled SMB1.0. Same result.
-
Oh, I am attempting to join with domain admin account as well.
-
anything in the event logs?

You don't need to do that to join to a domain...

SMBv1 has nothing to do with joining to a domain...

It's an AD issue that dates back to 2000 and maybe NT4. I figure it may have been resolved by now, but I remember having to slightly change PC names to get them to join in the old days, especially on the the tech side without access to remove duplicate entries.

I wouldn't have thought so, but meh.. just checking
-
Has that admin account perhaps hit the threshold of allowed domain joins? There are a few ways to get around it if that's the case.
.... Googling really quickly leads me too believe that it should actually tell you if this is the case, but I'll leave this here just in case M$ is being difficult again...

@notverypunny Users are the ones with the limit up to 10 but admins do not have a limit.

What is the secondary DNS on the network card?
-
@dbeato The secondary DNS is another domain controller on the domain. (backup)
