linux-jgoodstein:/etc/init.d # net join -S hpovo -U Administrator
Administrator's password:
realm must be set in in smb.conf for ADS join to succeed.
ADS join did not work, falling back to RPC...

Error domain join verification (reused connection): STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW

I've searched for everything and just can't get it to work. I cnt authenticate to any windows box or printer to use the resources. I am desperatly in need of help.

I'm going to assume you installed WINBIND.. didn't you?

I did not. I went ahead and installed winbind and am still haveing the same issue. I get the STATUS_OVERFLOW_BUFFER. is there any config for winbind that needs to be done?

After installing winbind i restarted nmb and smb do i need to start or is there a service for winbind?

Before to follow all the steps.


You do not need to be using winbind to make your server a member of the domain. However, if you want to use winbind, check out this link:
