It's consistent with how Windows tools work. By design, you can join as many times as you want, and as long as you give it a Domain Admin password it will overwrite the existing objects in AD (without any warning). So I'd say the tools behave like they should.
I understand that the process is error-prone and especially the DC should not overwrite itself, but that's a server-side issue... not really something we can or should fix from the client side by introducing a difference with how Windows' own tools behave. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- net rpc command potentially dangerous on Windows 2003 Server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
