I have tried a few suggestion with no success. The error I receive is "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain." Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure that you are using one of the AD DNS integrated servers as the DNS server for the Win 7 machine? There shouldn't be any trickery in making this work.

Make your that your domain's DNS servers are listed as the primary and secondary DNS settings for the Windows 7 machine. If you only have one DNS server then don't put anything for the secondary DNS.
