Unable to join a domain with windows 7 beta1

[Luke Howard]

That's good to know. With DSfW, looking at NetSetup.log, somehow early  
on it decides that the NetBIOS domain name is the least significant  
component of the DNS domain name (which in my test environment it  
isn't).

Still trying to figure out what is triggering this; it appears that in  
Windows 7 more of the join is done over LDAP than in previous versions  
of Windows.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable LDAP sealing in the  
domain join?
