I followed this link http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC which was very helpful. I was leaving a few things out that might be helpful to others.
My steps were: -build Samba4 but don't provision. -I added the fully qualified domain names of all the other server to the machine I looking to have join the domain. This allowed kinit to work. -run command: samba-tool domain join <domain> DC -Uadministrator --realm-<realm name> This worked like a charm. Much easier that I was making in my head. > I have Samba4 running, and it had a win2k3 server joined to it. This is > working great. > I'd like to add another Ubuntu 12.04 server with samba4 beta5. What's the > best join method? > > Do I provision the server as a member, then join using samba-tools domain > join <domain> > When I do it looks like it doesn't replicate the directory, just forwards? > > Should I provision as a DC with the same settings and then do the join? > This fails with a IO_TIMEOUT sort of error. > > Is there another method that I just haven't discovered yet? > > Thanks in advance for all the great help. > > Caleb > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
