I'm trying to setup a lab for MCSE studying. I have VPC 2007 installed on
Vista Home Premium. I installed each Virtual server from the same CD but
different Keys. Windows Firewall is turned off on both servers.
When I try to add Computer2 to the Domain i get the error messages below. I
am pretty familiar with this DNS stuff, but this one has me stumped.

Host: Vista Home Premium
Firewall: Trend Micro
NIC: Wirless DLink

Guest1: Windows Server 2003

AD and DNS server roles installed
DHCP is not installed
Domain name: Beyud.local

(SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
beyud.local:



The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired."

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.beyud.local

I'm trying to think but nothing's happening..."

It's as it says, the member server cannot find a DC via a dns search,
apparently using LDAP.
Have you configured the virtual machines using static or dhcp IP addresses,
from the 192.168.x.x address it sounds like it's dhcp.
If dhcp who is the dhcp server and is it running
If not dhcp did you add the dns server address to the member server nic
properties? and have you configured the dns service on the dns server, is
that the PDC?, correctly?
What mode did you select for the AD installation, mixed or all AD?

The Virtual machines are using a static address. I even changed it after
demoting the server to a 151.0.1.x scheme

DHCP isn't installed yet. There are only two virtual pc's, both are SErver
2003.

The Primary DNS address is in the Member Server's NIC properties.

The domain functional level is 2003 and it is AD integrated.

I don't know what you mean by "configured DNS". Installed the server
service with the Manage My Server function. The AD SErver is also the DNS
server.
