A The most likely reason for the error is that the DNS server is not configured correctly. The technician should check the DNS server settings and make sure they are correct. DNS, or Domain Name System, is a service that translates domain names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.1, that computers use to communicate with each other. DNS is essential for joining a Windows client to a domain, which is a logical group of computers that share a common directory and security policy. A domain name, such as example.com, identifies the domain and its members on the network.

Based on the error message and the information provided in the ipconfig /all output, the most likely reason for the error is: A. DNS. The error message "An attempt to resolve the hostname has failed" indicates a problem with resolving the hostname to an IP address, which typically involves DNS (Domain Name System) resolution. The ipconfig /all output would show DNS-related information, such as DNS server addresses and domain suffixes, which can help diagnose DNS resolution issues.
