Nate,this part of my install was pretty straight forward.  What version of 
windows in your DC?   What about firewall blocking something?

When trying to domain join PacketForce, on the web GUI we receive “Failed to 
join domain: failed to find DC for domain Computers - The object was not found.”

 

After searching through a bunch of articles, it looks like where it says “for 
domain Computers” should say “for domain MYDOMAIN”?

 

Did a full reinstall of PacketFence thinking something was wrong with the 
install, but am still facing the same issue.

 

In the actual Debian VM if I ping a hostname without the domain name it replies 
with the correct IP address, same thing when pining with the FQDN.

 

Cat /etc/resolv.conf > this returns the proper DNS IP addresses for my domain

 

Net ads status > this returns “ads_connect: No logon servers are currently 
available to service the logon request.” (X2)

 

 

Also have tried tweaking each setting on the Configuration > Policies and 
Access Control > Domains > Active Directory Domains > [my identifier], 
including either using IP addresses/hostnames (for Active Directory server, 
Sticky DC), changing the admin credentials around (myadmin@domain.local, 
myadmin@domain, myadmin, mydomain\myadmin), have tweaked the “This server’s 
name” field, to either specify a name or utilize %h.

 

 

 

 

Here is the log from /usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log (censored my server 
name and domain name)
