Hello,

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain (running on 2003 native mode AD) with Exchange 2010 SP1. I would like to add a samba4 domain controller to my domain. I have the latest (as of 1/25/11) git of samba-master but I have been getting some wierd errors when trying to join it. At first I was getting an NT_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR then I saw a previous post by someone with the exact same problem at http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2010-December/075431.html So I applied Kamen's patch (http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2010-December/075479.html) and I was able to get much farther this time.

Now I am getting this error:

Note that this is the EXACT SAME ERROR as the poster had in http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2010-December/075483.html Where he goes on to say that using the "net vampire" tool give a more verbose error report. However I don't have the net vampire tool anymore as this is a later git and it has apparently been removed and replaced with "samba-tool join".

Sorry for posting all those links for from the old post but I believe our problems are very similar.

Thanks,
