Right, I started revising for 70-640 Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory. To do this, I installed Windows Server 2008 on my computer, created a domain called contoso. So far, I have followed the book with practises etc and no problem. Now, I used Virtual box to install ServerCore as I didnt have another computer to work with and the problem I am having here is, I cant join "contoso" domain. I have set ipv4 static ips without a problem but cannnot join domain and i am guessing its a network issue, virtualbox not allowing connection between Server01 and Server02 so i hoped I could use some help here.

Setup
----------

Server01 (Windows Server 2008 installed on computer)
Server02 (Server Core installed using VirtualBox)

command i used - netdom join %computername% /domain:contoso.com /userd:administrator /passwordd:*

when i use this command, i get an error saying cannot find domain

how can I fix this?

All help appreciated

Be sure yours DNS are configured correctly (server 2), open this file with notepad:

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add this line:

IP_DomainServer DomainName
