We've encountered a problem with getting a newly installed Samba based
machine to join the domain.
Here's the command line and error response:
[root@chain samba]# smbpasswd -j COLUMBIA -r cmc-bkup -U murphyn
Password:
error creating domain user: NT_STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_ROLE
Unable to join domain COLUMBIA.
[root@chain samba]#
Installation is a RedHat 7.2 (from KRUD) box with freshly installed Samba
RPMs version 2.2.3a-6. smb.conf was created by a cut and paste from a
working installation on another box on our network, changing the server name
and share paths as necessary.
murphyn is a domain admin for COLUMBIA, the PDC (cmc-bkup) and the BDC are
NT4 boxes.
As the Linux guy I don't know what this error message means. The NT admins
are at a loss to explain the problem.
Curiosities:
I've used the same software version to add a box to our domain
Essentially the same config is used on the working and non-working
boxes, so I'm puzzled about what configuration issue could be causing this.
Bottom Line Question:
do you know what causes this error and how I can resolve this issue and
have the machine chain join the COLUMBIA domain?
Where did I miss whatever it is in the documentation?
