Figure 330: Join AD Domain
Parameter Description
Domain
Controller
Fully qualified name of the Active Directory domain controller.
NETBIOS name
(optional)
The NETBIOS name of the domain. Enter this value only if this is different from
your regular Active Directory domain name. If this is different from your domain
name (usually a shorter name), enter that name here. Contact your AD
administrator about the NETBIOS name.
NOTE:
If you enter an incorrect value for the NETBIOS name, you see a warning
message in the UI. If you see this warning message, leave the domain by
clicking on the Leave Domain button, which replaces the Join Domain button
once you join the domain. After leaving the domain, join again with the right
NETBIOS name.

Controller name
conflict

the domain name has been wrongly entered in the last step), the domain
controller FQDN returned by the DNS query can be different from what was
entered. In this case, you may:
l Use specified Domain Controller - Continue to use the domain controller
name that you entered.
l Use Domain Controller returned by DNS query - Use the domain controller
name returned by the DNS query.
l Fail on conflict - Abort the Join Domain operation.
