There can be cases, where when you try to join your client computer to a Domain, it gets authenticated with the Domain Access rights, but Throws error saying “Network Location Cannot Be Reached ”
Microsoft KB says: Enable the TCP/IP Netbios Helper Service in Services.msc. But if that service is already up and running, then that KB is invalid.
Follow this procedure to isolate the issue straight away. See the below screenshots for precise referencing.
Enable all the protocols for the Network Adapter you are trying to establish the Connection to the Domain. enable all the Protocols like Link layer topology and others as seen in the 2nd screenshot.

Hi, I have been trying various fixes for this and have had no joy. I believe it could be related to an uninstall of IIS 7. But re-installing has not helped. I can ping a relevant DNS, and IP addresses, but cannot map drives or re-add the machine to the domain. Help!

Are you seeing any errors in event viewer when you’re trying to add machine to domain? Any errors when you try to map drives? Tried net use command to map drives?

We have tried net use with no joy, and the event viewer doesn’t show anything.

Hi, is it just for one computer? If so please try sysprepping your windows and see if GUID reset can help.

Hi Vinay,
If you have all the protocols set to allow on the NIC, then ensure you can ping the DNS servers from the machine you are trying to join to the domain and also ensure you can ping the AD/DC server. name resolution is very important in the domain, so ensure you can resolve the name of the A. Say if your domain is “chaladi.me” then ensure you can ping the domain using FQDN/NETBIOS from the machine.
If it is failing then correct the DNS. Verify the DNS server services and any event viewer logs at DC/DNS server.
