Hi, I'm running Samba 4 (latest git) as DC in my test environment. Joining Windows clients works as expected, however if I try to join a Linux box by using Samba 3 "net ads join", I get this error: client # net ads join -U Administrator%password Failed to join domain: failed to set machine spn: Critical extension is unavailable As far as I can remember this used to work somewhere around alpha6/7. Is there currently any way to add Samba 3 boxes to the Samba 4 domain? Some more details: Looking at the network traffic, there's a LDAP modify request requiring some special control: object: CN=client1,CN=Computers, <...> operation: replace type: dNSHostName controlType: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1413 (LDAP_SERVER_PERMISSIVE_MODIFY_OID) criticality: True However this control is not supported in Samba4 according to the built-in LDAP server: supportedControl: + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.417 Show deleted control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.319 Simple Paged Results Manipulation Control Extension + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.473 LDAP Server Sort Result extension RFC 2891 + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1504 Attribute scoped query control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.801 Security descriptor flags control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.801 Security descriptor flags control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.529 Extended DN control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.417 Show deleted control + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1339 LDAP_SERVER_DOMAIN_SCOPE_OID + 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1340 Search options control (note: some of them are duplicates: s. .417 / .801) Cheers, Marcel
