Cant get member server to join domain

member server 2003 sp2, was in old 2000 domain. removed from that domain into
a workgroup. changed dns to reflect new domain. now trying to add to 2008
domain and I get a message of "The service cannot accept control messages at
this time". Of course it doesnt join the domain either.

I had another member server that i pulled out of the same domain and added
it with no issue.

So WTF?

A good place to start troubleshooting this is to look into the netsetup.log
file.

Ok, after thinking about this, i fixed it by changing the member server to
point to new PDC emualtor for time. After this was changed a little
wait..BAM!, it joined the new domain.
