There was an easy solution to this, i didnt configure my dns server i had to change it manually and after populating the two field i ran the following script and it worked

Add-Computer -DomainName mydomain -Credential mydomain\Administrator -Restart 

However i want powershell to change the dns setting i will ask this in a separate question

What i did before joining a server to domain:

1) Check the connectivity between DC and Server. Ping the domain controller. It should ping if both are on same subnet, else domain can't be joined.

2) Ran this powershell command:

PS C:\Windows\system32> add-computer domain.com -Credential domain\administrator WARNING: The changes will take effect after you restart the computer SERVERNAME.

As specified by you that it is already working script and from the error code and upon giving search it looks to be a problem with AD, please refer to the below link and try and see if it works by IP as suggested here.
