[Samba] joining an AD

[Guillermo Gutierrez]

Whoops,

The trailing (") should be at the end of the OU path, in your case after
the 'AD'.

The computername is a separate value that you are feeding it.

net ads join createcomputer="Servers/Windows/Computers/AD" computername

Is there a trailing quote (") after computer name ?

You have to use the "createcomputer" parameter if you want to specify
the OUs.

Ex: net ads join createcomputer="Servers/Windows/Computers/AD
computername

Hi there -

I am trying to join the domain using the net ads join  command but keep
getting a " 

Bad option: Servers/Windows/Computers/AD
Failed to join domain: Invalid parameter

when I try to add the computer into the correct OU like so:

net ads join "Servers/Windows/Computers/AD



Is there a correct way to get this to work?

I'm on a Red Hat Enterprise 4 system with samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4
