Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a few Macs that I want to join
up to a Windows domain, when I join the test machine to the
domain it works fine but when I reboot the computer it looses
it's connection and I have to delete it and re-create it.  My
Mac is called "macbook1" the domain is "lancaster.local" the Mac
is running Mac OS X 10.6.1  I have performed the process
described in

problem still persists  share|improve this question  migrated

down vote accepted  Have you disabled Bonjour on the Mac?
Bonjour/Zeroconf uses the *.local domain which causes issues
with domains that actually use .local.  The program that is in
charge of Bonjour, mDNSResponder now also handles DNS for your
Mac as well so disabling it like you could in 10.4 or 10.5 will
result in issues with anything related to DNS for any GUI
applications. Apple has posted a kbase article
