Symptoms

Consider the follow scenario:

  • You configure a disjoint namespace in a domain.

  • You configure a primary Domain Name System (DNS) suffix by using the disjoint namespace.

  • You use the netdom join command to connect a computer that is running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to the domain.

In this scenario, you cannot use your domain account to log on to the domain.

Cause

This issue occurs because the attribute of the dnsHostName value is not set correctly during the client deployment in the disjoint namespace environment.
