when i try to join my clients to the domain, i get the following error
message:"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "sgwr":
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation." if anyone
knows what that means, and/or how to fix it,i would be eternally greatful.
 
First thing to check: are these machines using the correct DNS server, and
can that server resolve SRV records?

Ensure all clients are pointing to an internal DNS server (usually a DC).

Then try running one of the following commands (you'll need to install the
support tools on the workstation you do this from):

C:\>nltest /dsGetDc:domainName.com
C:\>netdiag /test:dns
C:\>nltest /whoWill:domainName.com userName
