System Settings. Next, click Advanced system settings option in the upper left corner. The System Properties dialog box will open. Select the Computer Name tab and then click on the Change… button to add this computer to the domain. Figure 3. System Properties. In the next window, select the Domain: option under the Member of section and type the company's domain name. In our lab, the domain name is set to firewall.
When done, click on the OK button. Figure 4. Adding PC to Domain. The next step involves entering the details of a domain account that has permission to join the domain.
I have also heard of problems where a disabled Netlogon service was the root cause of a Windows 8 machine failing to join a domain. Check this and dependent services by launching services. Tip 2: It's always worth comparing the setting with a second machine, preferably one which has already joined the domain. Bridged Ethernet for Virtual Machines I have not tried it myself, but I read that changing the networking setting under Virtual Machine to Bridged Ethernet allowed Windows 8 to connect to domain.
Tip 3: When things go wrong, and I eventually find a solution in the logs, I always vow that next time I will start troubleshooting in system Event Log! Here is a free tool to troubleshoot network connection and latency problems.
Key concept: this is a free tool from SolarWinds that analyzes network packets captured by Wireshark also a free tool. When you inspect the data in the Response Time Dashboard, if you hover over an application such as Teredo or TCP, then you get an orange box showing a breakdown of network and application response times, note the 'Peak value' in addition to the 'Average'.
There are two reason that I disable the firewall when I am troubleshooting; firstly, it has been to know to suddenly enable the Windows 8 computer to join the domain.
I found the firewall settings thus: Control Panel, Windows Firewall. In a more sophisticated domain, you will probably have other firewall settings, however the principle is the same.
As a compromise, you could keep the firewall turned on for the public network, and try turning off for the work or private location. One sign that it was indeed a firewall problem was when I ran the command: ping server.
I got a reply from not from plain server, but from server. This was an indication that not only were the ICMP ping ports open, but also that DNS was correctly configured and resolved my request for server to the fully qualified server.
As I only got this response after disabling the firewall, my conclusion was firewall was blocking the ports needed for Windows 8 to join the domain.
Even by opening ports, , , 88 and 53 I still could not join the domain. This is why I took the ruthless approach and just temporarily turned the Windows Firewall Off on the server side. Upgrading from Windows 7 If you upgrade a computer that is already in a domain, to Windows 8 this has no effect on the domain membership. In other words, it's perfectly safe to upgrade a Windows 7 domain member to Windows 8 and retain your domain membership.
Creating a Computer Account in Active Directory While there is no harm in creating a computer account in the name of the machine that you want to join to the domain, this is neither essential, nor is it the root cause of this error.

Privacy policy. You do not have to join a Web server to a domain if the Web server is hosting claims-aware applications only.
Membership in Administrators , or equivalent, on the local computer is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
