Hi I have a little problem to get Samba 3.0.26a to work with a w2k3 ad. If I try to connect to it I get an "Failed to join domain: Operations error". With debug I can see that samba tries to connect to the ldap server. But instead using the IP address it's using the name. Could not open LDAP connection to win1.test.ads.local:389: Connection refused In my enviroment, this couldn't be resolved to an IP and so the whole domain join failed. I changed the one line in source/libads/ldap.c to use the IP and everything worked. --- ldap.c.orig 2007-09-18 14:39:26.000000000 +0200 +++ ldap.c 2007-09-18 14:39:29.000000000 +0200 @@ -427,7 +427,7 @@ /* Otherwise setup the TCP LDAP session */ - if ( (ads->ld = ldap_open_with_timeout(ads->config.ldap_server_name, + if ( (ads->ld = ldap_open_with_timeout(inet_ntoa(ads->ldap_ip), LDAP_PORT, lp_ldap_timeout())) == NULL ) { return ADS_ERROR(LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR); At least in 3.0.22 there was something similar. Is there a reason why the name is used?
