Yet another Samba authentication problem with Windows 2003 Active Directory
 

This time the correct forum...

Hello, I've been searching through various posts on this forum and can't find one that seems to pertain to our problem. Please pardon my ignorance of Linux as I'm a neophyte.

Having a problem joining a samba server to a Windows 2003 Active Directory. I receive the following error on the linux server and a similar one in the event viewer of the primary windows DC.

"Creation of workstation account failed
User specified does not have administrator privileges
Failed to join domain: Access denied"

Here is my smb.conf:

[global]
realm = DOMAIN.CORP
workgroup = DOMAIN
netbios name = FS01
server string = Samba Server
security = ads
password server = 10.0.100.101
encrypt passwords = yes
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
dns proxy = No
wins server = 10.40.7.163
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
cups options = raw


When I run kinit administrator@DOMAIN.CORP I'm able to log in, or, at least it appears I don't receive an error.

I'm at a loss as to which direction to head. We've joined a number of linux servers to this domain sucessfully in the past. Any direction would be helpful. Thank you!
