Well, right, it shouldn't be that hard, but... Maybe someone knows why this is occurring: ./net.samba3 ads join -U Administrator -d LCTN.PRIV -S 10.10.10.23 [2011/02/04 15:38:20, 0] lib/debug.c:449(debug_pars e_params) debug_parse_params: unrecognized debug class name or format [LCTN.PRIV] Enter Administrator's password: Failed to join domain: Invalid configuration ("workgroup" set to 'LCTN.PRIV', should be 'LCTN-DC'"realm" set to 'LCTN.PRIV //YOUR REALM', should be 'lctn.priv') and configuration modification was not requested The server name is LCTN-DC, but the domain is lctn.priv. Have tried listing domain in upper and lower case in krb5.conf ans smb.conf. ----- "Andrew S.
