Run a port scanner from the side having troubles joining the domain. Look at the list of ports necessary in the previous post. Dynamic rpc operations are part of normal ad functions so access to randomhigh numbered ports is needed. If the port scanner tells you that some of thee needed ports are unavailable then you probably have a firewall/vpn/isp issue.
If you don't have a port scanner just google for one. -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld ----- Original Message ----- From: ActiveDir-owner Sent: 06/10/2003 01:39 PM To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Difficulty joining domain It's doing that already.
