Situation
While extending the domain boundary or samifying a partition using the domaincntrl tool returns an error
Using the command domaincntrl --add returns
"Operation failed at line 1404: No such attribute"
Using the command domaincntrl --samify returns
"Operation failed at line 2136: Local error
The domainUpdateNow signal was not sent. Samification may not happen. Call samify or desamify operation."
Resolution
This is a cosmetic error.
Reviewing all users in the partition added to the domain or samified reveled all objects are samified and all objects have a uniquedomainid. The uniquedomainid is the attribute used to identify objects within a domain boundary.
An LDAP trace taken while running the domaincntrl tool will display the objects that were not able to add the samaccountname but did add unquedomainid. The objects most likely will be NetWare licences.
Below is from the ldaptrace

To see all object with out a unquedomainid do the following command. The output will be in the /tmp/uniquedomainid.txt
