[cifs-discuss] Error trying to join domain

[John Ryan]

Hi Julian,

I changed to /bin/ksh as the bug report suggested, but the result is
still the same.
In the text of the bug, the join still seemed to work, but at the end of
_my_ attempt to join, I get:

> Creating the machine account in AD via LDAP.
> Failed to create the AD object via LDAP.

I'm happy to ignore the errors caused by using ksh93.

Regards
John

John,

This has already been reported as a bug.
CR 6787343 kclient's site lookups fail in certain network environments
