So in the dialog below, it's not clear to me what to put in each field.
Domain Controller FQDN - the existing domain controller or the new one I'm trying to join?
DNS Server IP - the existing DNS ip or the ip of the new server I'm trying to join?
I have tried several variations - a total of 4 reinstallations and I have not succeeded entirely yet. Can we begin by getting total clarity on what is supposed to be entered in each field?

Oh, the forum's broken so I can't include an image ? Well I guess you either have to cut and paste this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUqRvN2HyLXa1labE9DbWpIcGs/view?usp=sharing or I get no help.

OK, let me see if I can help.
Server1 = Current PDC
Server2 = New DC that you are attempting to add to the domain
Realm: This should be your domain. ie example.com
Domain controller FQDN: This should be the FQDN of Server1. ie. server1.example.com
Domain DNS server IP: This should be the IP of your current DNS server. I'm guessing in your case either Server1 or the internal IP of your ISP router.
Administrator account: This needs to be an account of a user that has rights to add machines to the domain. If Server1 is a Zentyal box make sure that this account is part of the schema admin group.
NetBIOS domain name: This should be the domain without the .com, .org, etc. For this situation it would just be 'example'
NetBIOS computer name: Name of the new DC you are setting up. ie. Server2
Hope this helps.

Hello geeks,
I'm totally new here I installed Zen4.2 and created PDC secessfully but I'm unable to add the same server to my existing
Windows Domain controller it's giving me following error:
Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/zentyal/
The local domain zentyal-domain.lan must match the AD server domain Example.COM.
I tried to Restart DC/FS, Ubable/Disable module, update, upgrade but still
"Domain Controller and File Sharing Stopped"
please help....

you cannot add a primary domain controller to another primary domain controller. Re-install zentyal as a backup domain controller to your existing windows Primary domain controller.
