[Samba] secondary DC minor join errors

[Jason Keltz]

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your response...

Yes I did... exact command was:

samba-tool domain join ad.eecs.yorku.ca DC -k yes

And the last line of the output showed a successful join to the domain:

 > Joined domain EECSYORKUCA (SID <sid-removed>) as a DC

It appears to be working.  Does "samba-tool drs uptodateness" work for you?

Jas.
