A. Things to check for issues encountered when joining the machine to the domain:

  1. Run ipconfig /all and verify that the correct TCP/IP settings are being used. The machine should be configured to use ns1.berkeley.edu and ns2.berkeley.edu for DNS.
  2. NTLM version level - Verify that the machine is set to use NTLM v2 by following the instructions here.
  3. The NetBIOS network API (also loosely called the "NetBIOS protocol") is not necessary to join the domain, but a separate service called the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service must be running. Otherwise, you will get the error message: "Network Location Cannot be Reached" Error Message When You Try to Join a Domain".
  4. Open the netsetup.log file in %systemroot%\debug. This file contains the log of events during domain join/disjoin.
  5. Configure auditing and check the event logs after trying to join the domain.
  6. Run netdiag.exe and check the report in the netdiag.log file.

B. Things to check for user logon issues:

  1. Check the machine account attributes using the ADSI Edit Console. Follow the instructions listed in this document: HOW TO: Verify Machine Account Attributes. Make the appropriate changes, if needed, using the ADSI Edit Console.
  2. Make sure the correct CalNet ID and passphrase are being used for logon. See the FAQ for tips on user logon.
  3. Check the Kerberos name mapping for the CalNetAD shadow account. Refer to the Kerberos User Setup document for instructions.
