I've got a rather old setup for several computers and VM's here at home.
It is fairly static--the other day I was decided to remove and then
re-add one of my Linux servers to the domain. My setups it the old
smbldap and openldap setup. Centos 7 recently updated to 4.6.2.
When I tried to join a Linux machine named 'backup' I got an error:
Failed to join domain: Failed to set password for machine account
(NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD)
Over on the PDC:
[2017/11/21 15:36:18.948960, 2]
../source3/passdb/pdb_ldap.c:524(init_sam_from_ldap)

../libcli/auth/smbencrypt.c:770(decode_pw_buffer)
decode_pw_buffer: failed to convert incoming password
It has been so many years (and versions of samba) since I set this up, I
don't remember many of the details. :(
On linux server 'backup', I can run 'net rpc info' and it
accepts the
root/domain admin password and shows the domain and domain sid. It is
just the join step that is failing.
The PDC has 'server max protocol = NT1' set while the backup has server
max protocol set to SMB2. I 'assume' when joining the domain if
negotiates the protocol.
Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks.
