    cannot add Windows vista Business computer to domain

    I cannot add the company's new computer to the domain. I am trying to use the network ID wizard but I am getting an error after the third screen which says that "Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred:

    An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain".

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

    You need to ensure that the Windows Vista computer that you have is using the correct DNS server or not. It might be able to point to an Active Directory DNS server and should not for other ones.

    Even I was facing the same problem and I did the below thing to solve this issue:

    1. First of all I opened the TCP/IP Properties of my network adapter
    2. And then under "Use the following DNS server addresses" I entered the IP address of the server that I have setup the for the domain controller.
    3. After that I added the Windows Vista machine to it and it started to work again.
