| | Re: Can't join Vista x64 PC to domain - RPC error Thanks for the suggestion I checked with ipconfig and it's using our internal DNS server on the domain controllers, from DHCP.

| | Re: Can't join Vista x64 PC to domain - RPC error Are you running in an SBS environment? Or is there an ISA server on your network? Either of those can cause issues. The workaround is to disable the RPC filter if you've got ISA, and to install the updated for SBS that supports Vista (including x64). -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Peter Lawton" <DevNull@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OMIGvWntIHA.3420@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for the suggestion > > I checked with ipconfig and it's using our internal DNS server on the > domain controllers, from DHCP. > > Peter Lawton > > "Tom Lake" <toml_12953@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:5FDD0351-888E-4A25-8049-41109632734F@xxxxxx Quote: >> >> >> "Peter Lawton" <DevNull@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:OyGKu9mtIHA.524@xxxxxx Quote: >>> I'm trying to join a Vista x64 Business SP1 PC to our W2003 domain but >>> it's failing every time with one of the following errors:- >>> >>> "the RPC server is unavailable" >>> >>> "the remote procedure call failed" >>> >>> I can see the domain and can map drives to domain servers from the Vista >>> box >>> >>> I've disabled IPv6 >>> >>> XP PCs can join the domain with no issues >>> >>> Anyone come across this? >>> >>> Thanks >> That happened to me when I was trying to use our ISP's >> DNS IP addresses.

| | Re: Can't join Vista x64 PC to domain - RPC error Thanks I think it was ISA causing it, disabling the RPC filter allowed it to join the domain. Very strange behavior, we've never had the same issue with XP or W2003, just put it down to yet another Vista "feature" I suppose  Peter Lawton "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B96B20F9-9EDF-4ED5-A2E5-E8F156D250E3@xxxxxx Quote: > Are you running in an SBS environment?

| | Re: Can't join Vista x64 PC to domain - RPC error Ha! ISA's RPC filter is the issue, and it will cause a failure on any 64-bit client. I think I first blogged about that back in 2005. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Peter Lawton" <DevNull@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23sGNugYuIHA.2208@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks I think it was ISA causing it, disabling the RPC filter allowed it > to join the domain. > > Very strange behavior, we've never had the same issue with XP or W2003, > just put it down to yet another Vista "feature" I suppose > > Peter Lawton > > "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:B96B20F9-9EDF-4ED5-A2E5-E8F156D250E3@xxxxxx Quote: >> Are you running in an SBS environment?
