Join a domain from inside a Hyper-V guest OS

domain-controllerdomain-name-systemhyper-v

I have a Windows Server 2008 inside Hyper-V.

My host OS is a Domain Controller.

I can ping my network from the guest OS, but I can't join the domain. It gives a DNS error:

The operation returned because the timeout period expired.

Could anyone help ?

Most likely the cause of your problem is that your guest OS DNS settings isn't set to HOST OS IP. Point your Guest OS DNS settings to HOST OS IP and it should start working. Other then that you should be aware that HOST OS running Hyper-V role isn't supposed to run anything else on it except the Hyper-V role. So I would suggest to move Active Directory Role out of Hyper-V host.,
