Make sure that no drives are mapped when trying to join the domain as
that will
cause that message.  If that is not the case, then in my instance the
workgroup
name was the same as the domain I was trying to join, So I changed the
workgroup
name rebooted and tried to join the domain agian, that time with
success.
