Your english is a bit difficult, but from what I understand from the post, you are having problems with only 1 account when login to the domain.
Make sure the DNS server is set correctly (domain server with DNS and external forwarders), but if it is only 1 account it might be a problem with the account. It is possible there is already a local account with the same name. Try using the format account@domain , so for example, the account is usera in the domain contoso.com, the account would be usera@contoso.com.
Also, I think I saw this message about 4 or 5 years ago whenI changed the PC name and joined the domain at the same time. Change the PC name, restart, then join the domain.
