You need to first remove the computer account "prime" from the AD. Once you remove that account, the domain join via smbadm should work.

The smbadm CLI works with accounts pre-created by Domain Administrators. The dNSHostname attribute doesn't exist in a pre-created account. In your case, your system is joined using Likewise, which has set the dNSHostname attribute of the said account. User intervention is needed to ensure the smbadm CLI doesn't overwrite computer account of another system if a name collision is detected.

Hello,

My Solaris host is bound/joined to Active Directory using Likewise because I 
need a simple AD client for my junior sys admins.  However, I now want to join 
Solaris CIFS to the domain and I cannot because of the existing Likewise 
created computer account in AD:

Sep 12 17:54:12 prime smbd[3733]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] Failed to create 
the workstation trust account because its name is already in use.

How do I have both the host O/S and Solaris CIFS bound at the same time?  I am 
willing to give up Likewise if need be.  Please advise.

Joe Kotran

P.S.  I have active Sun service contracts, but I prefer the community nature of 
forums.  :-)
