DSfW: Linux workstations/servers error out while trying to join a DSfW domain

Linux workstations/servers error out while trying to join a DSfW domain

Using net ads join -U adminstrator to join the workstation(SLED) to dsfw domain giving error-"Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'Domain name'over rpc: Logon failure"

When trying to join the domain, either with SLED or CentOS, via the command

line (or yast2 samba-client on the SLED box), various errors are encountered;

however, it appears that a join partially completes.

From the workstation/server trying to join the DSfW domain do the following:

[root@centos samba]# net ads join -U adminstrator

Enter adminstrator's password:

Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'LAB.NOVELL.COM'

over rpc: Logon failure

[root@centos samba]# net ads join -U DSFWDOMAIN\\administrator

Enter DSFWDOMAIN administrator's password:

Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain 'LAB.NOVELL.COM' over rpc: Logon failure

---------

Using kerberos directly the partial join works with errors:

[root@centos samba]# kinit administrator

Password for administrator@LAB.NOVELL.COM: 

[root@centos samba]# klist
