Hello,
I have read about this issue, but even so, I am not able to fix it on my own.
I am trying to join a W2k8 R2 machine to a domain. If it is in the same network as the domain controller, no problem whatosever. If instead, there is a ISA Server (2006, Standar), issues arise.
Even if I create a rule allowing all the traffic back and forth from the perimeter to the lan, the message still appears.
This is the message:
"Changing primary domain dns name "" failed. The name will remain "newdomain.org" . The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
I have checked the client's event viewer, and there are several, regarding to netlogon, and to time server, but searching on the internet, I cannot figure it out.
In my view, it has to do with the hidden rule "Enforce Strict RPC compliance", but I disabled it and did not work either.
The domain controller and the client are both W2k8 R2 64 bits, and the ISA Server is 2006 Standar Edition on a W2k3 machine, not being attached to the domain. (That the ISA is not attached to the domain never was an issue in other Active Directory that I have set up).
I have re-started both domain controllers several times, perform dcdiag, and other tests.
I THINK IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE ISA SERVER, BUT CANNOT WORK IT OUT.
Thanks in advance!
