Hi, I have several OSX Ventura 13.3.1 machines that I need to connect to a Samba Active Directory. After entering the Samba credentials in the Mac Directory Utility, I get the following error: Authentication server could not be contacted. Other machines can successfully connect, including windows 7,8,10,11, as well as older versions of macOS I can successfully run the following DNS verification from the Mac terminal: host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com. host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.samdom.example.com. host -t A dc1.samdom.example.com.

are you actually using those dns names or are they placeholders? your macs are using what dns resolvers? I know it is not dns, but it is probably dns.

Yes, the DNS names are placeholders I resolved this by manually specifying the DNS server address on the Mac machines. I use DHCP to specify DNS server on the network. For some reason MacOS 13 doesn?t respect DNS server address from DHCP server.
