I never got this problem before. We just switch our ISP so we requested to add our existing dns server record pointed to this win2k server. This is the only server has AD/DNS/IIS/SQL installed. For example, we have testdomain.com as public and private doamin name. Even I try to demote and re-promote DC to different domain name than public name, like testdom without .com, and try to join this new domain from all the workstation(Win ME, 2000). None of them could not able to join to this new domain either. Please help me from this weird situations. Thanks.
 
Hey oldpal...

Have you checked to make sure that your DNS is active and authorized?

Have you checked to make sure your PCs are able to ping the server?

What error are you reciving when you try to add the PCs to the domain?

How are you trying to add the PCs to the domain?

Tell us what you have done so far... perhaps we can provide some assistance if we have more detail into your issue. CJ

DNS is active and authorized properly.
We can ping the server by using ip address.
Since I activate the WINS, can ping by host name also.
The error message is the "domain server could bot be found" something...
