SME as Domain Controller
« on: December 10, 2009, 05:53:41 AM »
Hi

I configured my SME gateway server to act as Domain controller from Server-Manager which successfully saved new setting but after that for testing when i am trying to join  windows client with DC but its refuse with error that
"A domain controller for the Domain "LR5" could not be contacted " 
 "Ensure the domain name is typed correctly."

Please let me know which name of server will the domain name as i tried all names

Server name:        Lh5
Domain name:       test1.local
full name:             Lh5.test1.local
work-group name:  test1

but none of them work, please note from same machine server manager is accessible so problem is not related with IP or class setting etc.

- use your workgroup name as domain name when you join the client
- be sure your SME is the dns for your clients

if it doesn't work, pleae raise  a bug, thank you
