Question 577 - 220-1101 discussion

A technician attempts to join a Windows client to a domain but receives the following error:

An attempt to resolve the hostname has failed.

The technician generates the display shown below utilizing ipconfig /all.

Which of the following is the most likely reason for the error?

DNS

Physical address

Subnet mask

IPv4 address

Default gateway

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The most likely reason for the error is that the DNS server is not configured correctly. The technician should check the DNS server settings and make sure they are correct.

DNS, or Domain Name System, is a service that translates domain names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.1, that computers use to communicate with each other. DNS is essential for joining a Windows client to a domain, which is a logical group of computers that share a common directory and security policy. A domain name, such as example.com, identifies the domain and its members on the network.

To join a Windows client to a domain, the client needs to resolve the hostname of the domain controller, which is the server that manages the domain and its resources. The client sends a DNS query to the DNS server, asking for the IP address of the domain controller. The DNS server responds with the IP address, and the client uses it to establish a connection with the domain controller and complete the domain join process.

However, if the DNS server is not configured correctly, the client may not be able to resolve the hostname of the domain controller, and receive the error: An attempt to resolve the hostname has failed. This can happen if the DNS server is not reachable, not authoritative, or not updated. For example, the DNS server may have an incorrect IP address, a wrong DNS suffix, a missing or outdated DNS record, or a firewall blocking the DNS traffic.

To fix the error, the technician should verify that the DNS server settings on the client and the domain controller are correct and consistent. The technician can use the ipconfig /all command to display the DNS server settings, such as the IPv4 address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS suffix. The technician can also use the nslookup command to test the DNS resolution and the ping command to test the connectivity. The technician should make sure that the client and the domain controller are using the same DNS server, and that the DNS server can resolve the hostname of the domain controller.
