    Presuming that the new server is the domain controller, with the appropriate FSMO roles, the first place to check is the DNS setting for the workstation. The workstation has to have the DC's IP address as it's primary DNS server.

    Yep, looks like a DNS issue. Are your other computers (not Win 7) connecting ?
