We are migrating to 2008 Active Directory and in making changed to
smb.conf and krb5.conf and restarting smb services I get below error in
the winbindd.log:

Here is the change in smb.conf file, esatest being the AD test domain.

<       workgroup = ESATEST

---

>       workgroup = LANGROUP

27c27

<       realm = esa.test

---

>       realm = EFW.COM

 

Here is the krb5.conf changes made:

 

<       default_realm = EFW.COM

---

>       default_realm = esa.test

5a6,10  (below was inserted, leaving the old realms also in place)

> esa.test = {

>       kdc = 10.1.32.58

>       default_domain = esa.test

>       admin_server = 10.1.32.58

> }

20a26

>         .esatest = esa.test
