This isn't exactly a Samba problem, but I am hoping the experts here can help me. I have been trying to get my OpenIndiana system to join a Samba4 domain and I was running into multiple problems. So I decided to test against a true Windows Server (2003) domain, to see if there is something wrong with my client-side setup. Attempting to join the WS2003 AD domain also fails. Snooping the network traffic reveals this: client: DNS query _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.ALLENLAN.NET: type SRV, class IN DC: no such server I found this MS link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961719.aspx Which says, in part: "_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DnsDomainName Allows a client to locate a domain controller (dc) of the domain named by DnsDomainName . All Windows 2000 Server based domain controllers register this SRV record." I am very new to Active Directory setup. So it is quite likely I have made a basic configuration error on the WS2003 AD setup. But true Windows clients can join the domain successfully. Any ideas? Does Samba4 automatically put this SRV record into its internal DNS server? Thank you. Lee Allen
You can try to find your record doing: (taking from the official how-to) host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com. 2013/2/22 Lee Allen <lee at leecallen.com>> This isn't exactly a Samba problem, but I am hoping the experts here can > help me. > > I have been trying to get my OpenIndiana system to join a Samba4 domain and > I was running into multiple problems.
