I'm trying to upgrade my small office from a workgroup (peer to peer) to a domain. I purchased MS Server 2008 R2 x64 and built a machine. I installed server no problem, runs cool and quick. I created a domain. I then added AD DS (active dir) and DNS rolls. Gave the machine its own static ip addy and implemented a few security measures related to AD DS. All seemed to go fine. So when I try and join a machine to the domain I created, I get a DNS error message. When I look back on the server I see a bunch of errors on the DNS server which I don't understand.

are just two. Any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks TJ
