Connecting Linux computer to Windows 2008 R2 Domain
Can someone give me some clue how to get a Linux machine connected to a Windows Domain. I am pulling my hair out trying to get this working.
I have one main Windows 2008 R2 Server which is both Domain Controller and DNS Server. I have two workstations one running Debian 6.0.5, the other openSUSE 12.1. I am trying to get each joined to the Windows domain. Not worried about Samba at the moment, just be happy if I could get these machines joined to the domain. Despite many wasted hours trying to follow various incomplete articles I still don't seem to be able to get either of these machines connected to the domain. |
What happens when you try to run the basic join code of:
Code:
net ads join |
Quote:
Host is not configured as a member server. Invalid configuration. Exiting... Failed to join domain: This operation is only allowed for the PDC of the domain From openSUSE: Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain myDomain. Does that give us any clues? Just found out that openSUSE does not work with ADS due to a bug when the domain name is xxx.local. I cannot change the domain name so that means openSUSE is out, lets hope Debian can be made to work. |
