Note: You must use a fully qualified domain name;
character case is not important.
• Primary Domain Controller:
Preferred option if DNS is working: Use DNS discovery
If DNS is not working well or if you cannot ping
abc.def.xyz.com, then use the IP address of the PDC
explicitly.
If you cannot ping the domain name abc.def.xyz.com, you
may not join successfully unless you can resolve
abc.def.xyz.com using the command:
# host abc.def.xyz.com ip_address
where the ip_address is the IP address of DNS as specified
at the bottom of the network page.
• Organizational Unit:
This is optional. There is usually a default organizational
unit such as Computers. If you want to join to an
organizational unit that is different from the default, then
enter the name of that organizational unit as seen in MMC.
• Administrator Name - user1
• Password - <enter password>
