connecting to a domain

[chromedome]

Hi complete noob here so apologies! I have set up a server, installed DHCP, AD, DNS, i have added a laptop to the domain, however it reboots but then will not let me log in. I can see the machine in DNS and DCHP. thanks

Complete new set up

 

laptop is using windows 10 education, server 2012r2 I had to manually tell the laptop the DNS address if this helps

Ok, so as you stated it's been added to the Domain, it sounds like it can see the Domain Controller.

 

Are you trying to login with a Domain account or the Local machine account? If it's the latter, then you will need to put dot backslash in front of the username. For example: .\JBloggs

 

If you are trying to login with a Domain account, create a standard user in AD under the Users container and see if that works on the PC.

tried this and nothing

Should be able to push the DNS address out with DHCP. Are you getting an IP address?

 

tried this and nothing

 

Which one did you try?

[chromedome]

do i have to have an active internet connection to the server?

[chromedome]

both! and yes it has picked up an ip address from within the scope

update,

 

I have disconnected from the network, and removed entry from AD computers, DNS and DCHP when I have reconnected AD Computers finds the IP along with DNS but DHCP does not, and i still can not log in on the laptop
