I had a server in the domain, after a while winbind broke down. When I try joining the domain again, I get this error: Failed to join domain: Strong(er) authentication required I did move this server to a different OU in the directory, but that shouldn't affect trying to rejoin. Our domain is at the Windows 2003 functionality level. The domain controller it is attaching to has been tightened down for security a bit. I went through the Security Configuration Wizard on it, which might have disabled some functionality that samba needs. Any ideas or pointers? # net -V Version 3.0.26a # net -d 4 ads join -U jharr [2008/02/23 13:54:41, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(5039) lp_load: refreshing parameters [2008/02/23 13:54:41, 3]
