Failed to update the dnshostnameand/or serviceprinciplaname (SPN) attribute

What happens after the join? Are you prompted to reboot?
Are there any events in event viewer?
Do you have a DNS suffix specified on the client machine? What does it show for its fully qualified name?
Does that match the domain name?

It sounds like you have a match on 258503. Ya might want to double check DNS values for the clients and DCs.

Hi all,
I have a few clients that are unable to join the domain which fail to join the domain with the following error:
Failed to update the dnshostnameand/or serviceprinciplaname (SPN) attribute.

I thought I had it solved by trying:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;258503

but no such luck. Anything else I can try short of re-imaging the machine.

SA.
