I am just trying to add a client machine to my domain - it is the first computer to join the domain.
I name it in the wizard, attempt to join, the client finds the domain controller then says "The computer name cannot be changed: The specified server is unable to carry out this task"... or something along those lines. Also, in this process, I am informed "An account for this computer cannot be found". I have tried creating the account in ADS first - no avail at all!
