!!! Overview
To [{$pagename}] (windows1.nwie###.net), type the following [command-line] as root on the member server:
{{{
net ads join -k createcomputer=Servers/UNIX -U unixadmin@EXAMPLE.NET
}}}
Since the machine windows1 was automatically found in the corresponding [Kerberos Realm], we know this if the [kinit] command succeeded, the net command connects to the [Microsoft Active Directory] server using its required administrator account and password. The command creates the appropriate [NIX] Workstation account in [Microsoft Active Directory] and grants [permissions] to the [NIX] Workstation to [{$pagename}].
The "Servers/UNIX" represents the location to create the NIX Workstation account in [Microsoft Active Directory] and is relative to the domain name.
The above [command-line] assumes you used the [krb5.conf] file as shown. If you added a Realm, then the realm will be appended to the unixadmin@NWIEPILOT.NET string and you will receive a error similar to:
{{{
Failed to join domain: failed to connect to AD: Malformed representation of principal
}}}
! Expect Some Errors
The above will always produce errors because the validation immediately happens on a different [Microsoft Active Directory] server than the create ([replication] [latency]). Usually this is because we are using [DNS] to discover AD servers.
Also, DNS is not allowed to be updated by samba; however the NIX Workstation should should already be proper in DNS.
!! Test The [{$pagename}]
Manually validate after allowing a few seconds to replicate:
{{{
net ads testjoin
}}}
