Windows 10 machine loses connectivity upon joining domain

D

Duke Becker

Hello all,


I'm having an issue joining a new windows 10 workstation to a server 2012 dominant domain.


All the IP's are static, an entry is manually entered in our DNS, a computer account is in AD.

I've deleted and created a new, different entry in AD.

Shutting down the machine and pinging its IP gives me "Destination host unreachable."


I've successfully joined it, but presumed that GPO's broke it due to ping errors resulting in "General Failure." to anything but the localhost.

Removing it from the domain and deleting the policies in regedit seemed to have fixed it, but rejoining it under an OU without GPO's linked or inherited breaks it again.


As soon as it joins, there is no connectivity and results in the previous error, "General Failure."

I've noticed that when we 'successfully(?)' join it to the domain, we get the following error:


Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed. The name will remain "<DNS domain>.<top level domain>".


I'm unsure of what's going on. We've tried multiple troubleshooting methods from various websites and forums, all without success.


Thank you!
