I had a computer that would not join a domain. No matter what I tried, it would come back with "The following error has occurred when trying to join the "abcdefg.com" domain: network path not found." I tried just about everything I came across while searching on Google:
- Disable Windows Firewall
- Run ipconfig /registerdns
- Run dcdiag on the domain controller
- Verify FSMO roles of the domain controller
- Verify reverse lookup zone in DNS
- Ping domain.com
- Verify _ldap._tcp.dc._mscds.domain.com in DNS
So what I finally did was these three things (in this order)
- Run "sfc /scannow"
- Run "netsh int ip reset"
- Run "netsh winsock reset"
- Run "ipconfig /registerdns"
And after a reboot, the computer joined the domain without any problem. Too bad the client ended up not needing this workstation and it went back into the closet.
