Hi,

Just created a new AD domain (Windows 2003) under our company's root domain
(internet). The domain is something like windows.mycompany.com. We are using
BIND as a name server for our mycompany.com domain.The zone file for this
subdomain (windows.mycompany.com) is created on the DNS and I have updated
the zone file with the content of netlogon.dns (from the AD domain
controller).

All our PCs are registered under the mycompany.com. e.g. pc1.mycompany.com.
When I tried to join the workstations to this newly created domain, it said
Windows cannot find the network path. Verify the network path is correct.

I have used nslookup from the workstation and are able to query all the srv
records on the domain controller using our name server. I have also appended
the domain suffix windows.mycompany.com to the workstation which I intent to
join to the domain.

I know this is doable but I just don't know what I am missing.

Thanks

Keith

Just ran netdiag on the domain controller and it failed on the DNS test.
This domain controller is registered under the root domain
dc1.mycompany.com. Do I have to register it under the subdomain
(windows.mydomain.com which is my AD domain).

Thanks

Keith
