Ok, some background information. I am a business education teacher who HAS to get his lab up ASAP. Our tech is not available as he is working on the new phone systems in a brand new building and so this is all up to me.

We have a brand new Dell PowerEdge SC1430 server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. I have 30 Dell client computers running Windows XP Professional.

All 30 of these machines have been completely reloaded and have nothing on them but Windows and the correct drivers.

Now, when I try to join the domain, 50% of the computers join the domain without hesitation or error, but the other 50% are throwing the following error…

“The following occurred attempting to join the domain “Student” The specified network name is no longer available.

Please note these machines are able to connect to the internet, and I can ping both the server and the gateway.

If anyone has a clue why these wont join, please advise!!

We are having some 300 client machines, each running windows xp and windows 2000 and the server is Wndows 2003 Server. Now we planned to have some linux clients so i need to know the information regarding the joining of linux machine into windows ADS domain network
