Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
We have a windows 2003 server running active directory. Trying to join an up-to-date Ubuntu Hardy server to the domain would not work if we passed "-S staff.gcd.ie" but would work if we passed "-S CENTRALADMIN" (the old NT4 DOMAIN name) and if we dropped the -S entirely. It should surely work in the first case? So, this fails (I've obscured the domain admin username): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo net ads join -S STAFF.GCD.IE -U OURADMIN OURADMIN's password: Failed to join domain: Duplicate name on network but this works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo net ads join -S CENTRALADMIN -U OURADMIN OURADMIN's password: Using short domain name -- CENTRALADMIN Joined 'CRAIC' to realm 'STAFF.GCD.IE' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo net ads leave -S CENTRALADMIN -U OURADMIN OURADMIN's password: Deleted account for 'CRAIC' in realm 'STAFF.GCD.IE' and this works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo net ads join -U OURADMIN OURADMIN's password: Using short domain name -- CENTRALADMIN Joined 'CRAIC' to realm 'STAFF.GCD.IE' ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- using "net ads join" with -S breaks if given the long domain name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
