I am running Windows Server 2003 Standard SP1. I set up a DNS along with an AD. After which I was hoping to gain access to the system via RDC. When ever I connect to the machine whether public ip or nonglobally routeable ip, I get a Windows 2000 login prompt.

I thought there was something wrong with the OS so I wrote zeros to the drive to wipe it completely clean and then reinstalled. I then set the AD and DNS once again and still am getting the same Windows 2000 login prompt. The prompt doesn't list my domain either.

I am stuck. Any help would be well appreciated.
 
Problem Solved!

hosts file in %systemroot%\System32\Drivers\Etc should've pointed my nonglobal ip to the domain.
