Question
A technician is attempting to join a workstation to a domain but is receiving an error message stating the domain cannot be found. However, the technician is able to ping the server and access the internet. Given the following information:
```
IP Address - 192.168.1.210
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
DNS1 - 8.8.8.8
DNS2 - 1.1.1.1
Server - 192.168.1.10
```
Which of the following should the technician do to fix the issue?
- A. Change the DNS settings. Correct
- B. Assign a static IP address.
- C. Configure a subnet mask.
- D. Update the default gateway.
Explanation
Domain join locates the domain controller through DNS (SRV records), and the workstation is using public resolvers 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 that know nothing about the internal domain. Pointing DNS at the internal server (192.168.1.10) fixes the lookup. The IP address, subnet mask and gateway are already correct, which is why the server can be pinged and the internet reached.
