Hi,
I just installed Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu classic desktop.  Now I am trying to join active directory and I get this DNS error and failed to connect to the DC.
How to fix this error plus I noticed on my windows 2008 Server that my Ubuntu server showed up as a Computer and not a domain controller.
Is this correct?  I would think it would show up as a DC just as it does when I joined my 2003 Server to my 2008 Server.
Thanks
Scott
