Unable to join domain

[Nick]

Hi,
Like many (it would seem from google) I am receiving error 5 (access denied)
when trying to join XP machines to the newly installed SBS domain. Note
that this isn't all XP desktops - just most.

I've tried googling for responses and it would seem that this is an IPC$
share security issue, I've also followed the msdn article that says to do a
"net use \\server\ipc$ /u:user password", and this confirms that error 5 is
being returned when trying to access the IPC$ share. I've tried logging in
under the domain administrator and my own account which has the same
permissions.

However - what is odd is that the command connects correctly using the same
credentials from a machine that has joined the domain succesfully.

The output from netsetup.log is:

Thanks to anyone who can help - I've been amazed at the good advice I've
recevied over the last few days with other problems I've had - saved me
tearing my hair out!

It would seem that on the machines that cannot join the domain they cannot
access any other shared folder on the server - again with accounts
(including the administrators) that succeed on other machines.

Last time I saw a resolution they reset the security on the system by
resetting the security template. Have you tried that?

Hi Nick,

Many? You are the first I hear about.
Does the ipconfig/all show that everything is pointing to the server-IP?

Flip that workstation in a workgroup, reboot, don't connect to a share or
whatever, just open IE and run servername/connectcomputer.

Hi Marina
Thankyou for the idea - I have tried this, but I get "there was an error"
after the stage where I select which user to add to the machine"

regards
Nick
