A Windows 7 PC Cannot Join Domain “the network path was not found”
Problem: A windows 7 computer cannot join domain. It says “the network path was not found”. All other computers can join the Domain with no problems.
Solutions:
I have searched online, none of the following suggestions works.
- Check the DNS is pointed to domain controller.
- Make sure the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is running on the client computer
- Disable firewall, or uninstall antivirus software.
It turns out that the client for Microsoft Networks has to be installed and checked.
