Following the steps in the OpenSUSE official site (http://es.opensuse.org/Active_Directory_Integracion)

I configured the files for authentication in AD.

I could checked that the logging (query to the AD) was completed successfully.

I was in the last step: Join the machine to the domain using samba.

When I google this error, most of the results talk about a problem with the samba version and windows 2008 compatibility.

They specially refer about  samba 3.0.25b testing to join to a Windows 2008. I have checked the version installed on my VM and it is not the conflict one. It is 3.0.26a!

I have tried to join the same VM to a windows 2003 domain and it works great

But I do need to join my VM to a Windows 2008 domain!

I have installed the newest Samba version (downloaded from samba.org) and it worked.

Here are the steps I used to perform the authentication (before installing a new version of samba and Kerberos client)

I configure the loging option for AD users in YaSt->Windows Domain Membership and here it are the results for my login attempts:

Using SSH:

Using Gnome:

• Create link to the script in /etc/init.d ln –s /srv/scripts/firewall.sh
• Run chown root.root /etc/init.d/firewall
• Run chmod 700 /etc/init.d/firewall
• Run /sbin/chkconfig –level 345 /etc/init.d/firewall
• To check if it is working, run /etc/init.d/firewall and check if that worked.
• Then access YaSt/System Services (Run level)

• On expert mode, enable the service on run level 5 (network configuration, in this case)

• Reboot and check it!
