[Samba] Joining samba4 as a DC to Windows Server 2012 active directory

[James-Arthur Eaton Gonzalez]

Hello all,

I am attempting to join samba4 to my current domain which is controlled by
a Windows 2012 Active Directory Server. When following the instructions on
the official WIKI:

http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC

I am able to do a kinit administrator, which then gives me a ticket which I
can see via klist.

The problem is that once I run the command:


# bin/samba-tool domain join samba.example.com DC -Uadministrator
--realm=samba.example.com


It does not work. I get the following error:
DsAddEntry failed with status (5, 'WERR_ACCESS_DENIED') info (8567,
'WERR_DS_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION')

Could this be because of the version of AD? I can't find much
around compatibility of this version of Windows. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Here is the full debug:

   1. ./samba-tool domain join example.com DC -Uadministrator --realm=
   example.com
   2. Finding a writeable DC for domain 'example.com'
   3. Found DC dc01.example.com
   4. Password for [WORKGROUP\administrator]:
   5. workgroup is EXAMPLE
   6. realm is example.com
