Duplicate SID when joining domain

The domain join cannot be completed because the SID of the domain you attempted to join was identical to the SID of this machine. This is a symptom of an improperly cloned operating system installation. Run sysprep on this machine in order to generate a new machine SID.

1. CD into: C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep

sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /reboot

Check to see if DC is using a Global Catalog

nltest /server:serverName /dsgetdc:domainName /gc /force
