Have to use the short one…it bombs on the FQDN even with a static address
From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: 31 May 2015 20:05 To: ntsysadm Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Unable to join domain unless using static IP address When joining, are you using the short name for the domain, or the full name - that is, domain vs. domain.tld? Perhaps more importantly, does your DHCP server hand out a default domain (domain.tld) with the lease, and if so, does it match the domain of your AD infrastructure?

Not much of an issue really, but I’m just interested in maybe finding out why it’s happening. My DHCP is handled by a cheap and cheerful home router. I was wondering if anyone has any idea why this is happening? The VMs, workstations, servers and DCs, all sit on the same host, however the router is connected to via wireless. I thought about switching the DHCP to the DCs, but thought I’d check with the minds of the list and see if there’s anything glaringly obvious anyone might be able to point me towards before I go down the route of making any wholesale changes.
