I am receiving a DNS error while trying to add more
workstations to my existing win2k domain. I have already
successfully added several new machines to the network,
but for some reason I cannot add anymore new machines to
the network. I am receiving a invalid domain name or
domain doesn't exist. It may be a DNS issue.
Please help. I have removed these workstations from DNS
and re-added them in, still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Are they using only the DNS address that has the AD zone?
No ISP's DNS allowed in TCP/IP properties.
 
You may want to check that the IP address is set correctly on the clients.
Not sure if you are using static IP's or DHCp assigned. Either way this
would be a good place to start.
 
They are using the IP address of the AD zone. We are not
using ISP's etc. An internal network setup.
Any other suggestions, I am at a loss here...
 
I have rechecked the IP address on the clients, they
match what I have in the DNS server.
ANy other suggestions???
