WELL... back in the Win95 days (and perhaps on a Windows 2000 machine), I had this happen perhaps 3 times.
There are some MS domain controller testers which may tell you if any of your DCs have DNS issues. Meanwhile, on those three problem machines, I actually needed to pull the NIC and remove ALL networking. Then, after putting the NIC back in, loading the drivers, and then re-installing networking services, they could join the domain. Now that I've not seen that particular problem in like 8-9 years, we have Vista and Windows 7 machines where the "administrator" who opens and completes the setup for an OEM install finds they are lacking sufficient rights to do much of anything despite being listed as "The Administrator!"... -- Richard D.
