[Samba] Joining a windows 2008 R2 controller to sernet samba 4.2.7
Hello, We have a sernet samba 4.2.7 dommain controller running centos 6.7. The functional level has been raised to 2008 R2 samba-tool domain level show Domain and forest function level for domain 'DC=xxxxxxxxx,DC=com' Forest function level: (Windows) 2008 R2 Domain function level: (Windows) 2008 R2 Lowest function level of a DC: (Windows) 2008 R2 We are trying to add a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller. We follow https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2008_/_2008_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD. If we run dcpromo, it keeps asking us to run adprep on the Linux domain controller. Does anybody have any clue ? --------------------------------------------- Christophe Borivant Responsable d'exploitation informatique --------------------------------------------

Samba 4.2 is quite old but this has been known to work with modern Samba releases. For 2012 (not in your question but a common question) Samba 4.8 will include adprep code for FL2012, which it needs.
