Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up a file server on Linux for Windows XP boxes in a
Windows Server 2003 environment. I followed an excellent tutorial on
Samba and ADS, which I recommend to all newbies like myself:
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081.
Kerberos authentication seems to succeed, and apparently there is
nothing wrong with my smb.conf file, yet when I try to add the server to
the ADS I get the following error message: "Failed to join domain:
Invalid configuration and configuration modification was not requested".
This error seems to be undocumented: I have found nothing either on
Google or on the samba.org site.
Here's a transcript of a shell session showing this error.
samba:~# kinit
Password for Administrator at ARM.PRIV: <--- Authentication succeeds
samba:~# testparm

samba:~# net ads join -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Failed to join domain: Invalid configuration and configuration

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If I mistype the password I get a different error message:
samba:~# net ads join -U administrator%wrongpassword
Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'ARM.PRIV'
over rpc: Logon failure
Can anyone help me?
