with samba 3.5.1 if I were to join a server to the domain and specify an OU to create the computer object in, I get "Failed to join domain: failed to precreate account in ou (null): Out of memory"- However, if I run the same command with samba 3.4.5 (with same configuration on same machine) it works. Did the syntax change? I cannot see anything about it net ads join createcomputer="Linux_Servers" -U <user>%<pass> -n core278468 here is a -d 3 Failed to join domain: failed to precreate account in ou (null): Out of memory [2010/03/26 13:02:26, 3] param/loadparm.c:9157(lp_load_ex) lp_load_ex: refreshing parameters [2010/03/26 13:02:26, 3] param/loadparm.c:4929(init_globals) Initialising global parameters [2010/03/26 13:02:26, 2] param/loadparm.c:4788(max_open_files) rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384) [2010/03/26 13:02:26.904862, 3] ../lib/util/params.c:550(pm_process) params.c:pm_process() -
