I was wondering if anyone knows the solution to this little problem? I have several Linux boxes that connect to a Windows 2003 AD domain. However I currently cannot connect any new Linux computers to the domain even though the distributions are all the same and the smb.conf, krb5.conf are identical on all the boxes.. When I run kinit -Uadministator@domain I get a ticket issued. However when I issue the net ads join -Uadministator@domain command the first time it just appears to hang. I CNTRL+C and re-issue the command and it says machine account already exists- modifying old account and appears to hang. I can leave this for several days and it never respond with Machine joined Domain. I also cannot get domainUser or domainGroup information. I have recently removed an existing working system from the domain and tried to log it back into the domain and now get the same machine account already exists- modifying old account message and it will not rejoin the domain. ANY IDEAS........in need of HELP desperately....
