likewise-open and samba as pdc
- by Knight Samar
Hi,
We have successfully implemented a Samba Primary Domain Controller for a hybrid Windows-Linux environment. So now I am setting up dual-boot clients with Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10.
Windows XP can be easily added to the Samba Domain. Everything is manageable. No worries.
But when I try using likewise-open 4.1 to add the Ubuntu 9.10 to the samba domain, it cannot locate the domain controller.
domainjoin-cli --loglevel verbose join MYDOMAIN root
Error: Unable to resolve DC name [code
0x00080026]
Resolving 'MYDOMAIN' failed. Check
that the domain name is correctly
entered. Also check that your DNS
server is reachable, and that your
system is configured to use DNS in
nsswitch.
I even tried mydomain.com variations but to no avail. What am I missing ?
I read up a document on MSDN wherein it says that the Domain Controller creates some SRV records in the DNS server. I guess, I don't have them on my BIND. Do you think that is the problem ? If yes, can anyone please point out how and what SRV records need to be added.
Thanks.
