Unable to Join AD Domain

[lumpie]

I put a Lucid 10.04 box on a Windows AD network. I want it to join the domain. I used likewise-open5_5.0.3991.1-0ubuntu2_i386

I ran

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install likewise-open
3. sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn of your domain Administrator

4. sudo update-rc.d likewise-open defaults
5. sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open start



After step 3, I get

Joining to AD Domain: mydomain dot local

With Computer DNS Name: ubuntu dot mydomain dot local

Administrator(at)MYDOMAIN dot LOCAL's password: [I entered it]

Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047]
40286 (0x9D5E) LW_ERROR_LDAP_SERVER_DOWN - Unknown error


Im just a Windows schlep new to Linux. I dont even know where to find things like /etc/nsswitch.conf--winbind, let alone how to edit them.

Sorry this post is so mangled. "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more" It took me an hour to get this to post. I attached a text file without all the spaces and 'dots'.

Thank you

might be your problem. try changing those settings inside /etc/nsswitch.conf, not sure what your setup is but you will need to use some kind of text editor (e.g. vim) or something along those lines to open the file and edit it.

Thank you scathefire, but I have no idea what to do with it

[scathefire]

you modify the line inside of that file. are you using KDE or gnome?

It is gnome

[scathefire]

then i would imagine you'd want to do something like

gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

or maybe

sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

Either way you'll have to have superuser level permissions in order to edit the file, and I think gedit is the default text editor in GNOME (i'm a KDE user). There you can modify the file and make the changes.

Im thinking it could be a DNS problem but /etc/resolv.conf does have the correct DNS info. I started to install winbind as per the help ubuntu com community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto but I guess winbind cannot be used with likewise-open. So now I need to know if windind needs to be "uninstalled" and how to do it. Apparently, I know just enough to be dangerous.
