Hi VMware family, I'm having some problems.
I'm trying to set up a Windows Server 2003 (yes I know it's old, outdated and blah, but it's all my company will allow me to have so I have to work with it, since my entire budget was spent on purchasing VMWare Workstation 9) and I'm unable to connect any computers to my domain. I can ping the server, and even use RDC to log into the server but I'm unable to connect any computers to my network that I'm creating. When I try, this is the error that I get:
The domain name "FIVESTAR" 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. The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "FIVESTAR": The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.FIVESTAR Common causes of this error include the following: - The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses: 192.168.1.17 - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone: FIVESTAR . (the root zone) I need some help because I'm not sure what in tarnation I've done wrong. I configured the DNS, and the AD, as well as the DHCP. Please someone give me something so that I can have this up and functional.
