Computer That Is Member Of A Domain Can't See Domain Groups

Solution 1:

Your PC/Server has to be able to find the DCs and to do so needs to share the same DNS as the DCs. Active Directory is VERY sensitive to DNS and all clients and domain controllers need to point to a common DNS or it just won't work. In my experience, almost EVERY AD issue is due to an underlying DNS issue.

Solution 2:

The Computer Browser service must be running in order to view computers on the domain. You can check to see if this is running in the Services snap-in. Many organizations disable this service via Group Policy to comply with security requirements (so you may not have the option to turn it on).

Solution 3:

The problem that you describe is likely to be resolved by simply leaving the donain and rejoining it:

1. In sysdm.cpl, leave the domain and join WORKGROUP.
2. Reboot.
3. Log into the domain controller, open Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers, and verify that this machine's computer account has been deleted. (Right click on the domain, choose Find, change the type of search from Users/Groups to Computers, and search for the name of the workstation that you have removed from the domain.) If the computer account still exists, delete it.
4. In sysdm.cpl, rejoin the domain.
5. Reboot.
