Hi everyone,

I am trying to set up a file server on Linux for Windows XP boxes in a Windows Server 2003 environment. I followed an excellent tutorial on Samba and ADS, which I recommend to all newbies like myself: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081. Kerberos authentication seems to succeed, and apparently there is nothing wrong with my smb.conf file, yet when I try to add the server to the ADS I get the following error message: "Failed to join domain: Invalid configuration and configuration modification was not requested". This error seems to be undocumented: I have found nothing either on Google or on the samba.org site.

Here's a transcript of a shell session showing this error.


samba:~# kinit

samba:~# net ads join -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Failed to join domain: Invalid configuration and configuration modification was not requested ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I mistype the password I get a different error message:
samba:~# net ads join -U administrator%wrongpassword
Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'ARM.PRIV' over rpc: Logon failure


Can anyone help me?
