The Specified Domain Either Does Not Exist or Could Not Be Contacted

I've upgraded a Windows 10 machine to Windows 10 Pro. When I try have it join a domain I get the following error:

The Specified Domain Either Does Not Exist or Could Not Be Contacted

After inputing the domain name and computer name (this computer is replacing a computer that is already on the server) it asks for a username and password that has proper rights. I enter the administrator username of the server and its password. I get the above error.

The DNS setting is set for the serial manually. The server can communicate with the client and I can communicate with the server via the ping command.

When I enter the Registry and seek out HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\ - SysvolReady was not there. I created it and gave it the value as 1.

Any suggestions on getting this brand new machine on the domain is appreciated.

Thank you for looking.
