  • Question

  • Dear all,

    I need your support and thanks in advance.

    I have installed Windows 7 and Windows 2008 server in a Virtual Box. Windows 2008 server is my Domain Controller and DNS is configured. Please find my configuration below.

    Domain Controller FQDN name - bbi.in

    IP addrees - 192.168.10.14

    subnet mask- 255.255.255.0

    gateway-   192.168.10.254

    Preferred Dns - 192.168.10.14

    Windows 7  having IP address 192.168.10.2

    Ping connectivity is working from both end

    My Problem is  my windows 7 machine is not joining to domain.

    while doing Nslookup command from windows 7 command prompt I am getting default server and Ip address of the domain controller.

    I have been trying a lot and did lots of trouble shooting but can not get any solution plz.... help

  • Hi,

    This error may be caused because the primary domain controller is not specified as the first DNS server in your TCP/IP settings on the system that you’re trying to join to the domain.

  • When you try to join the domain, are you using just "bbi" or are you using "bbi.in" ?
