Cannot bind OSX to AD
- by erotsppa
I'm trying to get an mac mini running snow leopard server to join a windows domain here. The windows domain server is running Windows server 2008.
When I go to "Accounts" in my System Preferences, and lick on "Join", I get this error: "Unable to add server. Node name wasn't found. (2000)"
In my console messages I find this:
10-04-06 11:42:25 AM System
Preferences1452
-[ODCAddServerSheetController handleOtherActionError: gotError:
Error Domain=com.apple.OpenDirectory
Code=2000 UserInfo=0x2004f2f80 "Custom
call 82 to Active Directory failed.",
Node name wasn't found.
I specified a FQDN for the domain server, so I am totally confused as to why it would list "domain = com.apple...." in that error.
I've tried firing up the Directory Utility and trying to join a domain via the Active Directory option there. Again I fill in the FQDN, and the proper administrator/password acount info. Now I get a different error:
"Invalid Domain
An invalid Domain and Forest
combination was specified. You should
enter a fully qualified DNS name for
the domain and forest (e.g.,
ads.company.com)."
If anyone has any pointers or suggestions this would be appreciated.
