I am unable to add the company's new computer to the domain. I attempt to use
the netwrok ID wizard, however, i continue to get an error after the 3rd
screen. The error is:

"your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error
has occurred:

An attampt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has
failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that
can resolve DNS names in the target domain."

Any help or advisement would be highly appreciated
 
Make sure the Vista computer is using the correct DNS server. It should be pointing to an Active Directory DNS server and no other ones.
