The domain is restricted to a 15 character, caseless name without special characters. The most common practice is to use the primary element of the Domain Name as the Domain if it comports with the requirements.
For example, if the Hostname is 'server1. The character limit for this value is 15 characters. It is not the full DNS name but in best practices would equal the name of the first part of the fully qualified domain name.
For example, if your Hostname was 'server1. While this isn't a strict requirement it is best practice to have the certificate authority of the servers set up and configured before proceeding.
This should use 'Hostname' or 'Internet Hostname' configured previously for your certificate so that the names match. This will remove the certificate error if you happen to trust this CA with your workstation which is also a best practice. It is essential that the time and date on your network is consistent throughout. Part of the security model for CIFS Common Internet File System, the protocol used by Windows Networking relies on the time being accurate between the workstation and the server and also the server and other servers which is especially important when using the Active Directory Connector.
One approach is to point all the workstations and servers to an external time server. This is by far the easiest configuration.
Another approach is to set up ClearOS or an AD server as a network time NTP server and point all of the time sync for workstations and servers to this central server. Then you can point just this central server to an external time sync device. The reason why this approach is more scalable is that it works even when your external connectivity to the Internet is down.
Even if the central server is not able to get an accurate time from the world-view of things, it is able to keep all the nodes close by accurate. It is ok for it to even be wrong so long as everything else is wrong together! Another advantage to this approach is that you don't have increased usage of your internet pipe for updates to network time.
ClearOS can reference other servers on your network and be used only for its own purposes, or ClearOS can be used as a primary location for DNS queries. Samba Directory. In some cases it may be useful to refer ClearOS to different DNS provider for the implicit purpose of resolving a specific or several specific domains.

After about 40 seconds, I get the following message:.
The specified computer account could not be found. Contact an administrator to verify the account is in the domain. If the account has been deleted unjoin, reboot, and rejoin the domain. Therefore, if I try again a second time, without deleting the already created computer account, I get a different error:. Note that until a while ago samba wasn't configured to automatically create computer accounts.
What I did whenever I wanted an XP to join was to manually create it. When I first attempted to solve the Windows 7 join problem, I setup samba to do this automatically, as this is what most people do, as I understand, and I thought that it might be related. I haven't attempted to add an XP since I made this change, so I don't know if it works, but whether it works or not, the problem remains.
Update 2: The server has a single network interface eth1 also an unused eth0 that shows up only in the kernel boot messages and two ip addresses; the main, One of the problems I recently faced was that samba was using the latter IP address. The above dump occurs when I click "OK" to join the domain , until it asks me for the username and password of a user that can join the domain.
I don't know why the client is contacting the second IP address. This should resolve your issue. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

After adding the additional registry keys I was able to add to the machine to the domain. But I cannot add domain users as local administrators - I get the 'trust relationship' error.
Any ideas? Saturday, December 19, PM. But I cannot log on as a domain user - I get the 'trust relationship' error. Thanks Firak. Monday, March 8, PM. Firak, First have you found a solution to your problem?
If so I would like to know because I had a similar issue on our development network. If I understand you correctly if your Winders 7 machine logs in first no issues, but if an older OS's logs in then Windows 7 will not correct?
Also what version of Samba are you running on that machine? Thursday, March 18, PM.
