Steps to replicate: 1. Select 'To rename this computer or join a domain, click Change' 2. Select 'Domain' and enter the domain name. Click OK 3. When asked to enter credentials, enter admin user and password. Click OK This error comes up: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "foobar": The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. NOTES: a. If I enter a fake domain in #2 above, it is a different error, it only asks for user/pass when the correct domain is supplied. b. Nothing is showing up in the /var/log/samba/log.smbd file when this happens.
