With a fresh installed Samba 3.2.4 running on SLES 10 SP2 i'm not able to join a fresh AD runnig on Windows 2008 Server. The host-entry in the AD is created, but net ads join fails with "Failed to join domain: failed to set machine spn: Can't contact LDAP server"
Created attachment 3708 [details] Output of "net ads join -U Administrator -d 10" Output of "net ads join -U Administrator -d 10"
Looking into this
I cannot reproduce this, can you please provide a network trace of this failed join ?
i also tried 3.2.3, which didn't work out either. The dump will follow in a few minutes.
Created attachment 3712 [details] Output of "tcpdump -w net-ads-join.dump -s 0" while trying to join the domain
Ok, I checked with the openldap and samba maintainers at suse, and apparently there is an openldap update available that fixes these sudden dropdowns of LDAP connections. Can you try to update ldap and verify it is fixed?
The latest available openldap2-client-Update solved the problem. Joining the domain works now. Thanks a lot for your help!
