Connect to Domain with 11.2

Hi I have a Windows 2003 DC with AD on it and I would like to connect 11.2 to the domain. I have gone through Yast2 and it fails to connect so I have followed guide after guide and am unable to make a successful connection to the domain. I have tried editing /etc/krb5.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Like a step by step guide or anything to help get this box to connect to the domain? The only guides/Documentation that I can find pertain to release 10.X and from what I can derive from these guides it worked flawlessly so I would assume it would be the same for 11.2. I would appreciate any help. If you need anything from me please just let me know and I will post it up.

Thank You

Brian

Can anyone please shed some light on this? I would really like to get this working properly. I would like to move to opensuse rather then windows. If my post does not make any sense please just let me know.

I’ll be setting up some fresh 11.2 machines to a domain this week (albeit they’ll be virtual machines but the idea is the same), I’ll put a track on this thread and see if I can come up with some ‘fixes’ for the basic YAST2 configuration.

It’s a mixed Win2k3/Win2k8 forest so it should be relatively close to what you have there.

Yeah it should be. I appreciate your response on this. Here are a few of the error messages that I am receiving.

If I run it through Yast2 I get “cannot write PAM Settings.”

If I run “net ads join -U username” I will get the following error message “net_update_dns_internal: Failed to connect to our DC!”

One thing first: does 11.2 connect, but users can’t? I.e. can you configure via Yast?

No I have never had a succesful attempt using just Yast. I have to do some manual tweaking to get it to kind of work. I mean I can browse through and view all the samba shares but I have to enter my username and pwd to access the shares and if I were connected properly I should not have to do that.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has had any success with this.
