How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
DOMAIN
, whereas the one that works isdomain.local
. On the AD server the domain name isDOMAIN.LOCAL
and the Domain NetBIOS Name isDOMAIN
DOMAIN
is an "Windows NT domain" name that comes from the NetBIOS-based domain system which existed before AD. Every AD domain still has a corresponding NetBIOS / NT domain name (which can have completely different spelling from the AD DNS domain name), but when joining a machine to the domain you should always use the DNS name, i.e.domain.local
– support for NT-style domain joins has been gone for a few years now, so It's normal that joining a machine toDOMAIN
will not work. (Once the machine is joined though, console logins can still useDOMAIN\user
though.)DOMAIN.LOCAL
, if it's shown inklist
then it is actually the Kerberos realm name, which is case-sensitive and traditionally the uppercase version of the corresponding DNS domain. So your AD domain really has three names – DNS, Kerberos, and NT, and the same AD account name can be written as[email protected]
in AD UPN format,[email protected]
in Kerberos principal format, andDOMAIN\user
in NT format.
