The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: An error with no description has occurred

A server in our network seems not yet in our domain, so i am trying to register/insert it into our domain.
But following error occurred:

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain:
An error with no description has occurred.


Not sure why. Didn't google yet ho. So i went RDP into my Domain Controller.
Discovered the Computer Name was Disabled.

WHY THE F?

i don't know. So, i enabled it back. Click on Computers on the left pane. Then Right Click on the Computer Name, and Enable Object.

however, that DID NOT solve my issue. Hmm.. Google it is.
i gogled and stumnble upon this:

Followed that conversation betweet IT ete and Customer and realize the keyword: DNS!! :D

Did two things:

1) set the Domain Controller IP as the DNS server (Primary)
2) add the Domain Controller's IP and hostname into the server's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. but i think this no 2 is optional.

Tried again, and it worked like a charm! :)

Using ABAP program + SM37 - ABAP program to fetch comamnd from a remote server (HTTP-GET ABAP Function Module) - schedule job every 2 minits interval - for that job, set spool recipient to remote attacker email so output can be sent over - Pre-req: SCOT configuration, Auth for SM36, SE38 to be continued.. //alak

Fiori Apps Keep Calling Internal Hostname / Internal FQDN

Had this issue where certain apps calls internal hostnames or internal FQDN when clicking or spawning webdynpro URL or any calling of internally hosted attachment. To change this setting, general steps as below: Check the app is using which local Alias - is it LOCAL or S4PS or S4FIn or whatever Check in /UI2/V_ALIASMAP / /UI2/V_ALIASCAT that alis is mapped to which alias. Check in SM59 under HTTP Connections to ABAP System if let say the Alias name is LOCAL, so there should be three LOCAL_xx created, which are: LOCAL_HTTP LOCAL_HTTPS LOCAL_HTTPT SO change for each of this, to the correct FQDN or hostname Hope this helps someone. //alak
