Andrew:
I think it's time to have that discussion on the list :)
After your commit 23ffccd5d7c9a88d479f82043ff1b6efe938cc6a, which
changed forest, domain and domain controller functionality levels to
2008, I cannot join a W2K8 server to an S4 domain. After reverting that
commit, I am again able to join a W2K8 server to an S4 domain.
I am attaching the relevant section of my samba.log containing details
from when the domain join fails.
Sincerely,
Andrew Kroeger
