As your Mac gets older, it starts to show its age during daily use. Everyday tasks can drag as your computer struggles to keep up. More demanding apps and games might even refuse to run at all. Sometimes, your Mac might just hang. Seemingly forever. Press and hold all keys in the combination together, not one at a time. Shut down your Mac. Then press the power button to turn on your Mac. Then press and hold the keys as your Mac starts up. From the Finder, Menu Select the 'Go' menu and navigate down to the 'Go to Folder.' Alternatively, press Command+Shift+G from your desktop or a Finder window Type in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist into the search bar and press 'Go.'. In our office, we have a Windows Server Infrastructure with several Macs (Imacs, mac pros, macbook airs etc). Active Directory and DNS is running off a Windows Server 2008 R2 Server, with DHCP on a Cisco Router. DHCP is configured to direct all DNS entries to the Windows DNS Server.
Double click or tap the Mac. You are asked to enter the credentials of the user account sharing files and folders on the network. In the first text box, first type the name of the Mac, followed by ' and then the name of the user account existing on the Mac.

DHCP is configured to direct all DNS entries to the Windows DNS Server.
The problem that I'm having is that, while all windows machines show up on the Windows DNS Server, None of the Macs are registered. Macs are able to utilize the DNS Server correctly, but will not register on the DNS Listings.
Because I cannot access or ping Macs via their hostname, I cannot tell our third party backup software to point to a particular machine. Our workstations are all DHCP enabled, and since assigning a static ip to all the Macs here is not an option, I need to get this working, so that I can get our macs backing up.
I've followed a few similar articles, but they appear to be for older 2003 servers, which the 2008 R2 servers do not have those options. I do not want to join the Macs onto the windows domain, I merely want to get them registered on our DNS server.
The mac operating systems vary between Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
