Error running djoin.exe. Return code: -2147023174

Question

Can someone explain what this error code means ? Below command is executing BY CODE - djoin.exe /provision /reuse /domain userDomain /dcname targetDC /machine machineName /savefile c:\rabins\odjservice\" + machineName_odj.txt

Answer 1

Hi @Rai, RabinsX

The details of the error code are

Hex: 0x800706BA 	Int: -2147023174  
Severity Code: 10 - Warning,	Source Facility: Win32,	Error Code: Hex: 0x06BA Int: 1722  
  
(-2147023174) The RPC server is unavailable.  

Normally an 1722 error, either means the target server is not available or the DNS resolution is not working, which might be caused by a wrong server\domain name in this case.

Hi there,

These are returned by the GetLastError function when many functions fail. To retrieve the description text for the error in your application, use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag.

By default, the Djoin.exe commands target a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. However, you can specify an optional /downlevel parameter if you want to target a domain controller that is running a version of Windows Server that is earlier than Windows Server 2008 R2.

Hi

From memory it's a permission issue, make sure the account can run the tool can use djoin.

If the tool must be run as admin, make sure your code is executed under the user account, and if run as a admin is used it's runned by default as the local system's account.
