Hi, I am trying to configure winbind on redhat 9, using samba 3. I would like to join a machine that already has an existing Active Directory account to our Domain. Unfortunately, the command "net join -U(our Administrator account) fails. Text in brackets () has been replaced to hide specific information. Here is the output of "net join -U (Administrator account) [2004/04/21 13:11:55, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_add_machine_acct(1006) Host account for id010393 already exists - modifying old account [2004/04/21 13:11:55, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_join_realm(1342) ads_add_machine_acct: No such object ads_join_realm: No such object ADS join did not work, falling back to RPC...

Has anyone experience this before ? I will be happy to document a solution if anyone has one. Thanks, Ian McNally System Configuration: I have installed samba-3.0.2a-1_rh9.i386.rpm krb5-devel-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm krb5-devel-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm krb5-workstation-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm I have configured Kerebos such that kinit (Adminstrator account)@(DOMAIN) succeeds.
