Hello, I am experiencing an issue with trying to upgrade my server. My company currently has a Small Business Server that is the domain controller. We just purchased a new server and installed Windows Server on it. I have been trying for a couple days now but I cannot seem to get the new server to join the domain so that we can raise it to the main domain controller. When I go to join the domain, the new server is able to contact it and asks for a username and password for someone with permission to join.
Once I enter that windows server 2016 standard join domain free download, I get an error saying the domain doesn't exist or cannot be contacted. So far I have tried many things including:. I am almost certain that it is a DNS issue, since I'm able to ping the old server and the domain successfully but not join. I have tried so many things that usually work for DNS issues though and have had no luck. Regards, Dave Patrick I am checking to see if the problem has been resolved. If there's anything you'd like to know, please feel free to ask.
