[Samba] Unable to join to Windows 2003 PDC using samba 3.5.8 from a linux machine!!
Hi all, I am using samba 3.5.8 on a linux machine. I am not able to join the domain of a windows 2003 server in ADS mode. I am getting the following error message: # /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join -U Administrator%password -I 10.25.66.71 Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain ABCDOM.PQR.COM # I am not sure what the issue here. It works absolutely fine when I try to join the domain in rpc mode. # /usr/local/samba/bin/net rpc join -U Administrator%password Joined domain ABCDOM. # The smb.conf used is: # /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384) Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[Linux]" Loaded services file OK.

[Samba] Unable to join to Windows 2003 PDC using samba 3.5.8 from a linux machine!!
So your samba server thinks it is joining an NT4 domain. Is the ADS domain in "NT4 compatibility" mode or "windows 2003 native" mode? I think that "NT4" machines can still join ADS domains even if the ADS domains are in 2000/2003 mode. Did you try adding the kerberos realm info for ABCDOM.PQR.COM into the samba clients krb5? Also check testparm -v | grep resolve By default name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast I think it is better to have hosts and wins first. Is the ADS server your DNS server? Is the samba server using the ADS server as the DNS server? DNS should include "resource records" to help locate an ADS DC. I don't think you can have lmhosts entry for an ADS server.

I suspect it's having trouble finding a kdc. -=Andrew
