I just purchased a HP 6510b laptop/notebook (preloaded) with Wins Vista
Business Ed. When I tried to join into the company domain (right click my
computer -properties-change), its failed. I copied all the subnet mask,
preffered DNS and alternate DNS from another Windows XP desktop (which
joinned into the domain) and copied all the neccesarry setting into the Hosts
file and tried again, but failed.

The details of the error message is:

The domain name NMYDOMAIN 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
for domain NMYDOMAIN:

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.NMYDOMAIN

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:

10.5.200.1
10.2.200.1

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child
zone:

NMYDOMAIN
.. (the root zone)

When I tried to start the Netlogon service in Vista, it couldnt started. The
error message is :

For your information, I able to ping the laptop/notebook to the domain
controller server and to other computers (alreday in the domain) but still
failed to join domain.

I wondering why else was went wrong in the setting? Thank you

Turn of the firewall and try it again!
