openSUSE ver11.1 trying to join a Windows 2003 Domain

Hello,
This is what I am attempting to do:
I would like to setup a Linux machine to act as a proxy using Squid and Dansguardian. I have about 200 pcs that all have Windows XP Pro with SP3. I would like this proxy to monitor and track the network activity on each of the 200 Windows pcs. I would like it to be setup in a way that all of the user’s pcs must go through the proxy to get to the Internet (Tools/Internet Opotions/Connections/Lan Settings/Proxy Server). I do not want the users to have to enter a username and/or password to get on the internet. Everything needs to be done behind the scenes without the user knowing.

I am using openSuse 11.1. I have installed the following software: Squid (2.x), yast2-squid, Dansguardian, Samba-Winbind, KRB5, KRB5-Client.

My current problem is: I am having trouble getting this Linux Machine to Join a Windows 2003 Server. This server is the Primary Domain Controller with Active Directory.

Does this Linux machine have to be a member of the Windows domain to do this?

I have used 2 tutorial-type documents. Here are the URL for those documents (they are active hyperlinks…you can click them:
1)Setting up Squid NTLM DansGuardian Sarg - openSUSE

  1. http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Authenticating_Windows_Active_directory_2003. Everything is now setup according to this tutorial.

Following both tutorials everything is perfect up to the step when you join the domain (i.e.
net join -S PDC -UAdministrator or
net ads join -U domainadminuser@DOMAIN.INTERNAL).

When I execute either of the “net join” statements above…This is the error I get:

Failed to join domain. Invalid configuration and configuration modification was not requested.

Could someone please provide some help or insight into the problem and a possible solution?

Thanks,
Bobby Howerton
