Hi list,
I'm having difficulty joining new Samba 3.0.x machines to our production
domain. I'm trying to join using
net ads join -U Administrator
but it just hangs. It does create a computer object in the AD though, if you
Control C the hung net join and try
and start winbind, winbind complains with this error "ads_connect from
domain DOMAIN failed: Cannot read password"
I know my Samba install is not fundamentally flawed because I can get the same
machine to join our test AD domain.
Also this did previously work with the same version of Samba (3.0.2a) on our
production domain, I have also tried
Samba 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 and all exhibit the same bahviour.
I've included the debug output from the net join command and also a snoop of
the traffic between the samba server and
the first listed password server in smb.conf. Any help very much appreciated,
thanks Andy. <<netjoin.tar.gz>>
PS you will see from the netjoin.log output that the server had an existing
account in AD but the command still hangs
regardless of if there is or is not a pre-existing account in AD.
