Question : XP PC will not join the domain

I am getting this error when trying to join my domain:

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain DOMAINNAME.LOCAL:

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAINNAME.LOCAL

The following domain controllers were identified by the query:

mail.DOMAINNAME.local

Common causes of this error include:

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

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

Answer : XP PC will not join the domain

Are both sites able to access the Internet and do you have someone at the other end who you can trust to do simple installs?  If so install Teamviewer and sort your problem, get RDP working and then uninstall it.

Teamviewer is at http://www.teamviewer.com

If you don't have anyone you can trust at the other end then use Dameware.  This can be push installed then again deleted when the problem is solved.
