Hi list, on windows clients I can generate a so called djoin-blob (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-access/directaccess/directaccess-offline-domain-joinV)) for joining a windows machine to a given AD account (works fine with samba 4.7+). In this procedure the account will be reused (not overwritten!), the machine takes the machine-name of the account (very practical!) and no admin-password is necessecary for join (but for creating of the blob, naturally). Is there a similar way (planned) for linux clients, connecting to a (samba) ad dc with a kind of blob not using the domain admin account password? Tfh! Oliver
