If we join ADS as a member server, we should show with the description Workstation or Server, not Domain Controller. Here are the steps for reproduction: 1. Join an ADS domain using net ads join 2. From a client in the ADS domain (or the DC), browse to the following My Network Places->Entire Network->Directory 3. Right click on your Domain and select Find 4. Search for the hostname of the machine you joined in step 1 5. Notice the role displays as Domain Controller It should show as "Workstation or Server"
cannot reproduce this Marc. I'd recheck your config.
Jerry, Are you sure you are doing a search and not just looking in the Active Directory Users and Computers screen? You have to do a search to see this problem.
marc. what's the status here ? I'm closing as invalid since i could never reproduce it.
