Hi,

Iam attempting to join a new server (samba-4.15.4 installed in a new
server) to an existing samba AD. But getting the error and the domain join
failed, The error is listed below.


An operation failed during a batch mode transaction, the transaction was
rolled back
Join failed - cleaning up
ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb

For Adding additional DC to existing one, execute the below command.

*#samba-tool domain join ktk.com <http://ktk.com> DC
-U"KTK\Administrator"
-d4*

Let me know about the solution for this error and join the Additional DC
without error.

Thanks,

The error is above the 'Join failed' line, the rest is just an artefact
of the fail.

We need more info, what distro etc.
