  • My windows 7 computer doesn't want to add the existing domain, and it keeps on saying "An Active Domain Directory Controller for the domain could not be contacted. How can I connect to the domain?

  • "run my domain on my WIN7" makes no sense are you trying to join your wind7 to your domain, or do you simply mean a dns "domain" and its not working as a resolver?

Configure the DNS client settings on the Windows 7 computer to use the DNS server that is supporting your AD domain (presumably it's the same server that is the DC for the domain).

  • Wow. OK. In the TCP/IP properties of the NIC on the Windows 7 computer configure the DNS server setting with the ip address of the DNS server that is supporting your AD domain, which is presumably the same server that is the DC for the domain.

    @Andre This is a site for professional systems administrators. If you're truly a professional, your company needs to send you to some basic training. If you're not a professional, you're asking on the wrong site.

    "And NO WHERE it says that this site is for professionals." - Actually, the very first line of the faq explicitly says Server Fault is for Information Technology Professionals needing expert answers related to managing computer systems in a professional capacity. When you create an account, you are prompted to read the faq before asking or answering, and this is the reason. This site specifically targets professionals with questions about professional environments, specifically so that we can attract experts in the field.
