**testmoder123** · 25-10-2010

Hello All i'm new to this site and windows server but i got a new server and i installed "windows server 2003 Enterprise" i installed the dns and other things... with the "dcpromo" and when i wanted to join my computer to the server it said

Code:

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain home.local:

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

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

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

home.local
local
. (the root zone)

so i added the server's ip to my Dns settings.. and this is what i got

Windows Xp Client:

Code:

If you previously use the ping authority to test network connectivity and the presence of hosts, who were surprised to find that ping a Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 can not work. That is because if Windows Firewall is operating on the server, by defaulting the firewall is configured to block ICMP Echo Request packets and other incoming ICMP traffic as well. You can allow the server to respond to ping requests as follows:
