I have installed Windows 2000 advanced server and promoted it as a root
domain.
When the clients on Windows 2000 Pro. try to join the domain, it resolves
the domain name
but gives an error saying "Network Path not found".
However, once a client crashed, i re-installed windows 2000 Pro. (fresh
installation)
on drive D, without actually formatting drive C. during the setup, on
joining the domain,
it joined without any problems - was surprised.
Decided to format a C drive and again install win2kpro. Now, it gives the
same error
"Network path not found" on joining the domain" - Strange.
Not too sure wht the problem might be.
Can any one help me?
Network path not found in a domain network.
SYMPTOMS: When trying to join a W2K/XP to a Windows 2000 domain by using he
NetBIOS domain name, you are successful but not the FQDN and you may receive
one of the following error messages:1) The following error occurred
attempting to join domain "example.com": The network location cannot be
reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
2) Network path not found.
RESOLUTION: This issue may occur if the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is not
running on the client computer. To start the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service,
go to MMS>Services, double-click TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service

but one thing surprises me. i just checked get ip automatically on another
win2kpro,
and restarted. It just joined the domain. but not other systems. i have
checked the settings
and the account details, but still i get the same erro for other clients.
One theing i just forgot to mention, the server has 2 network adapters, on
with the static IP connected to
a cable modem and one with a dynamic, connected to the hub.

No errors, nut warninigs:
"Dynamic registration or deregistration of one or more DNS records failed
because no DNS servers are available. "
Well, my manager told to demote from DC for time being, and create a
workgroup.
We do not have any problems with workgroup.
I need to do some RnD sometimes. But not for now.
Thank you, for your suggestions. I will keep in touch in the groups.
