I am having a problem getting the machine to work as a domain server, i know dhcp is working. DNS,ADS,DHCP are all running however when i ask a client to join the domain i get an error.Here is the error i get from the client pc while trying to connect to the server(join the domain):
Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain server.net:

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.server.net

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

server.net
net
. (the root zone)

For information about correcting this problem, click Help.

I would also like to know how to make it so that there are no password rules!!

This is a learning experiance for me so bear with me here and thank you for all of your help.

Are there any Firewalls running either on the box or on the network?

[IrockComputers]

No firewalls are running, attempted to reinstall AD and now when the comp restarts it tells me to gon into AD repair mode, now i do not know what to do.

[PCguy]

Is the server set to be a DNS client to itself?

[IrockComputers]

Well the whole thing just took a crap on reinstall attempt i get a BSOD that says IRQL_NOT_LESS_THEN

[PCguy]

Sounds like a reinstall of the OS is needed.
