Hi Luke,

have the same problem.

Possible provides the microsoft article q256083 a solution:

reason for the error:
configured dns server which does not support srv records, or gives an
unexpected respond to the client.

fix:
temporarily remove the assigned DNS address from the client.
reconfigure it after the join.

more about srv record in the ms knowledgebase 232025.

hope it helps!
