First, let me say thanks to anyone that can help me.

Here's what going on.


Mac has bootcamp with Vista installed on it. Both server and client
have latest updates. When trying to join domain you get " the RPC
server is unavailable" most of the time, if I see this it's due to
dns not set right at the client end.


I can and have join new pcs, notebooks to this domain to confirm the
problem stays on the MAC.


I added static IP to everything and added host A rec. in DNS an can
ping every device. the Machine name is added to the server in AD once
you try join the domain. Then you get the same errors one or more,
all
dealing with RPC server.


Thanks, Again


Bruce

Hello bj1462@yahoo.com,

In the Domain controller security policy>security>local policys>security
options, right pane, Microsoft network(server):digitally sign communication
(always) checkmark it and disable the setting.

Then run gpupdate /force and try again.

Can be that Apple is not able to use this feature.

Best regards
