Hi,
thank you all for your replies.
I did a totally new and fresh install today with the latest Zentyal 3 installation image 32bit. I think, I followed all the instructions I got in the past:
- static IP address for local lan
- Enabled NTP server and succesfully syncing the client
- Fixed DNS server in lan adapter configuration
- Flushing DNS Cache on the client with ipconfig /flushdns
- of course I entered the the FQDN, in my case SOLARIS.HOME as domain name , there is no .lan extension in the domain name
- client can connect to the server and to the internet
- Configuration of network adapters, DNS and NTP before installing file sharing packages
- prepared the build-in Administrator user changing its password to something I know and verify to be member of group Domain Admins
- ...
But my problem still exists! Trying to join the domain, there is no login box, but only this message (details part, now in english):
Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain SOLARIS.HOME:
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.SOLARIS.HOME
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
deep-thought.solaris.home
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A or AAAA) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

This is my dig output on the server, similar to that one on my linux client, when connected to the server:

Maybe, there is a DNS issue I didn't recognized, yet?
Any idea?
Thank you all for help,
Ralf
PS: @daniellench: did you installed 64bit or 32bit version of Zentyal? I heard about some guys, that they were successful using 64bit version. But my prefered hardware is restricted to use 32bit version of Zentyal.
