Domain Connection Issue

[AJTerminator]

Ok, so I'm using Windows Server 2016 to make an Active Directory Server, but whenever I try to connect with a Windows 10 Education VM, it always just says "Can't join this domain. Contact your IT admin for more info". It does acknowledge that the domain exits, but just fails after asking for credentials (They're definately right)

Firstly, how are you connecting your devices? is it a switch or just a router?

 

For the DNS settings on the client PC, did you enter the Servers IP address?

Also check the firewall settings on both the w10 and the server. If you have them on default there is a big chance it won't work.

Through a router and I can't find what the IP for the server is, I tried the normal public ip, 192.168... but that didn't work

what did you set the IP address on the domain controller?

[Mdgtman91]

also turn off ipv6

 

it doesn't always cause an issue but it has enough for me to just always disable it.

"CiscoSystems" Nice name lol but 192.168.1.1, it's free and wydm turn off ipv6? On the Server or Client?

Solved. I managed to get it to work, by just plugging in the computer with the server VM to the computer with the Client VM, for some reason, my TalkTalk router blocks access attempts, probably to get you to buy their enterprise gear.
