So your samba server thinks it is joining an NT4 domain.
Is the ADS domain in "NT4 compatibility" mode or "windows 2003 native"
mode? I think that "NT4" machines can still join ADS domains even if
the ADS domains are in 2000/2003 mode.
Did you try adding the kerberos realm info for ABCDOM.PQR.COM into the
samba clients krb5?
Also check
testparm -v | grep resolve
By default
name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast
I think it is better to have hosts and wins first.
Is the ADS server your DNS server? Is the samba server using the ADS
server as the DNS server? DNS should include "resource records" to help
locate an ADS DC. I don't think you can have lmhosts entry for an ADS
server.

Hi all,
I am using samba 3.5.8 on a linux machine.
I am not able to join the domain of a windows 2003 server in ADS mode.
I am getting the following error message:
# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join -U Administrator%password -I 10.25.66.71
Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain ABCDOM.PQR.COM
#
I am not sure what the issue here.
It works absolutely fine when I try to join the domain in rpc mode.
# /usr/local/samba/bin/net rpc join -U Administrator%password
Joined domain ABCDOM.

NOTE: 10.25.66.71 is the IP of my 2003 windows server.
My lmhosts file is:

10.25.66.71 ABCDOM#1c

It would be great, if any one can tell me if there is anything wrong here
and probably help me sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance!!
Thanks,
Rick
