Hi...!!!

I have a Active Directory with only one server, but when I configured this
server, the name I leave "localhost", now when I try to join a pc to this
domain I can't.

1. I'm use 2 network boards (one to private network and other to public
network)
2. In this server I have DNS and thus DNS automatically are register IP
private and public.

I hope you help!

thank's

Rename the domain controller to something other than localhost. If you are
using Windows 2003 it will allow you to do this very easily.

Also, it is not recommended to have a multi-homed (2 or more NICs) domain
controller unless this is SBS.

Adding to Brian response, here are some related problems with Multihomed
DCs:


Active Directory communication fails on multihomed domain controllers

Server that also runs DNS or WINS
