Dear All,
good day,
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Virtual Machine running on the ESXi 5. I set it as fixed IP and attempted to join it to the host domain.
I am prompted for an account authorized to join the domain and enter the domain administrator credentials. After a long while, it fails with this error:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "Domain Name": The specified network name is no longer available.
although i can ping the Primary domain controller from the guest oprating system and the firewall was turned off
Does anyone have any idea to get the client to join the host domain?
NB: 1- I'm using a flex ten with the HP Blades and using VLans Trunking
2- the ESXi 5 host have IPs a.b.c.d and the VM has IP a.b.x.d with the same Default getway
