Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES11)
Domain Services for Windows
DSfW


Situation

Joining SLED/SLES to a DSFW domain works as expected with the syntax as "<DOMAIN>\Administrator".

If just "Administrator" is specified, it fails with RPC logon failure.

Example:
KRB5_CONFIG=krb5.conf net ads join  -s /etc/samba/smb.conf  -U 'Administrator'
Enter Administrator's password:
Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'OES11-DSFW.LAN'
over rpc: Logon failure
