Unable to join Domain while connected with VPN

Post by gctss » Thu Mar 19, 2015 8:08 pm

I installed my VPN server and am able to connect. I can even ping my domain name and NetBIOS name and get proper VPN ip addresses of my domain controller. When I try to join domain, it states domain could not be contacted.

(I did this a few weeks ago in a test environment(no issues) but deleted all test environment VM's.)

Anyone have a clue?

Hello, this sounds like a DNS issue.

Please check that DNS servers you pushed to the VPN clients are open DNS and working. A good example of a open DNS server is the Google DNS server (the IP addresses of the Google DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
