Can anyone shed some light on this error? I can't seem to find any information as to why it is failing. Thanks. USTR-MINT-A-1:~ # net ads join "United States\Tredyffrin\Resources\Servers" -U trimblrd trimblrd's password: Failed to pre-create the machine object in OU United States\Tredyffrin\Resources\Servers. I have tried two different domain admin accounts and I get the same error each time. It strange since the object already exists in AD.
I get the same error either way. -----Original Message----- From: Howard Wilkinson [mailto:howard@cohtech.com] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 11:16 AM To: Trimble, Ronald D; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] NET ADS JOIN error Check that the backslashes are not being interpolated by the shell you may want to try. net ads join "United States\\Tredyffrin\\Resource\\Servers" -U trimblrd Howard.
