Joining Vista Ultimate to a Windows 2000 Domain
Have you ran into something like this before?

I am tring to join a new Acer Aspire 5680 laptop running Vista Ultimate to a
Windows 2000 domain for one of my customers. Should be a piece of cake,
right? Not so much!!!

After reading a lot of messages posted on the web, I have disabled IPv6 on
the network adapter, but that is about it.

I have never had an issue adding a Win2K Pro or XP Pro PC to this same
domain.
Any advice is appreciated.

Error....

******************
Join a Domain or Workgroup

An Active Directory Domain Controller for the domain BRE-MAR.COM could not
be contacted.

Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly.

If the name is correct, click Details for troubleshooting information.

Error details.....

-----------------

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain BRE-MAR.COM:
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.BRE-MAR.COM

The following AD DCs were identified by the query:

server.bre-mar.com

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) records that map the name of the AD DCs to its IP addresses are
missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Active Directory Domain Controllers registered in DNS are not connected to
the network or are not running.
