Cannot add windows 2003 computer to domain

[Guest mcTNT]

Hello.

 

I have 2 Windows 2003 R2 computers. First is PDC and second is new server.

 

I install all updates from windowsupdate.com for both computers (includes

SP2).

 

I want to add second computer to existing domain. When I try to do so, I

receive message "The following occurred attempting to join the domain <my

domain>. The remote procedure call failed." No other errors in Event logs on

both computers. Computer account in Active Directory Users and Computers

created but it is disabled. I try to enable it and join to domain. When I

try to delete it and join to domain again. No changes.

 

Remote Procedure Call service running on both computers. Firewalls disabled

on both computers.

It could be name resolution issue. Any errors if running dcdiag? Or this

search result may help.

 

Network errors"A domain controller for your domain could not be contacted"

.... The remote procedure call failed and did not run RPC Server is

Unavailable ...
