joining NT domain

[Garmuar]

Did Hardy Heron have a tool to authenticate to NT domain? I had thought it did. I have 2 Advanced 2000 servers,running AD, along with assorted 2003 servers, and I need to add new ubuntu machines to the domain and connect to Mapped drives and such.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes. Thankyou.

I don't know why I was having trouble finding that application name in the forum. I tried every Key word I could think of. LOL

"Likewise" it is.

hah Yeah, I went Google searching for a bit and finally came across that. The only stuff I could find on the forums were stuff about manually configuring Winbind and PAM.

Glad that helps

well it looks like I have to do that next. I get the same dns errors using the GUI and cli for likewise.

It says it cant find the DC. and to check if DNS is configured in nsswitch.

As far as I can tell nsswitch or nsswitch.conf does not exit.

I got winbind installed but then I still couldn't find nsswitch in /etc or any place else. I am rather confused at this point.

when trying sudo domainjoin-cli join My.domain username
i get: sudo can not resolve host name "username-desktop"
Then I enter password and get the "cant resolve DC name" error.

Something is not right. lol

No nsswitch.conf? Weird. A little checking, the base-files package is supposed to contain that file. I'm assuming the command isn't working because the nsswitch.conf file is missing. Checking my default 8.04 install (desktop install), nsswitch.conf exists on my system (/etc/nsswitch.conf).

My nsswitch.conf:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
