Kerry,
I do not have a WINS server in the domain; the VPN connection uses the
domain DNS server; Netbios is disabled on all adapters for all machines in
the domain; I used the FQDN (i.e., companyname.llc) and provided credentials
for a DomAdmin using
name@companyname.llc, as well as companyname\name, and
name along with the password - in all cases the same error is received.
I checked to be certain the ISP DNS servers were not conflicting and they
weren't - to be sure I flushed the DNS cache before attempting the join, then
pinged the DC by name and IP; I also established an RDP session by name to
the DC, yet the domain join failed; lastly, I created the computer account in
AD computers/users rather than let it be created during the domain join
process. Nothing worked successfully.
