Windows 10 Pro can't see active directory domain on Windows Server 2016
Hi
I hope you can help. I am trying to connect my windows 10 pro to my windows server 2016 Active Directory Domain and yet when I try to join the domain, the error message is that the domain doesn't exist. I have tried everything I can think of to get this working any thought on what it could be? Maybe DNS issue or something is my thoughts
For example you can set them all statically like below
domain controller
address: 192.168.1.200
default gateway: 192.168.1.254
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.200
DNS: 127.0.0.1workstation 1
address: 192.168.1.201
default gateway: 192.168.1.254
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.200workstation 2
address: 192.168.1.202
default gateway: 192.168.1.254
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.200I've no idea if the above addresses are free to use but you can check them from cmd.exe then ping them. Then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon service or simply reboot them. For a single DC setup be patient and wait 5 to 10 minutes for active directory / dns to fully start up.
I'd start by check the domain controller and problem member both have the static ip address of DC listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS

Dave Patrick Can you lead me in the right direction? I am new to this domain stuff
Please run;
- Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >c:\dcdiag.log
- repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
- ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
- ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt
- ipconfig /all > C:\problemworkstation.txt
then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.
