  • Join Window 7 workstation to ClearOS7 domain

    This is a new server with all updates applied.

    And the workstation is a recent build and registered with MS. All updates applied.

    The server is homebase.home.htt (192.168.192.2)

    The client is on the same subnet (192.168.129.77) and can ping homebase.

    \\homebase.home.htt on the start programs box opens up explore showing all my shares and I have no trouble opening up public shares.

    I have made the registry hack via regedit. I go to Windows Explore> Computer > System Properties > Computer Name, domain, workgroup settings and select Network ID and follow the wizard.

    I have tried both HOMEBASE and HOMEBASE.HOME.HTT for the Computer Domain. The error I get is that teh AD DC cannot be contacted.

    What do I do to get the computer to join the server?

    thanks
