Access Denied when trying to join a server to the domain
We are using Windows 2003 server domain with 5 domain controllers. I have installed a new sever with Windows 2003 std edition and then tried to add it to the domain. If I am entering the domain details and then click it enter as normal, then it prompts me for a domain account with crendentials to add it. I have entered the domain administrator account and am getting some error message that states "The following error occured attempting to join the domain "domain name" : access is denied". Is there any solution for this.
Re: Access Denied when trying to join a server to the domain
Have you already got a computer object in the domain with the same name as the machine you are trying to join? Also ensure that the user account that you are using to join the computer has permission in the Security tab of this object. I am not able to remember the exact permission required off the top of my head but granting Full Control of the object will obviously do the trick.
