Hi,
I know I am "asking for it" by submitting this post (based on previous bashings I have read here), but for some reason I have only found pertinent discussions on ProCooling thus far, so here goes...
I am trying to join this SnapServer 410 to an AD domain, and have a very specific problem, so hoping some folks with a lot of expertise can suggest some things I could try.
(CHALLENGE!)
I try to join an AD domian and get "The administrator name and/or password are incorrect"
Keep in mind, "Large company, so complex structure + limited control"
Details:
I need to join one child domain, using permissions from a different child domain (same parent), and I don't think the server can understand it.
So server needs to be joined to "server.parent.com" domain (under a 3 deep OU)
My account (which does have permissions for the OU in "server") is in the child domain "admins.parent.com".
There is a trust in place, and all permissions are correct. In fact I successfully created a computer account manually, (in the correct OU) using AD U&C.
I THINK the problem is that the snap server is looking for my account in "server.parent.com".
I tried adding the WINS and DNS versions to the Administrator Name dialog of the snap server, but it doesn't like it (same error). Meaning, I tried ADMIN\myusername and
myusername@admins.parent.com.
One thing I tried which results in a different error, is join the wrong domain (try to add computer account to "Admins" domain. Since the request and admin account are in the same domain, it instead gives the error "Domain Join Failed".
I assume here, that it fails because I do not have permission to create any computer accounts in admins.parent.com.
I have tried changing various other options, which all result in a different (in my opinion "less successful") errors.
Anyone want to take a shot at how I tell the Server to look to a different domain for Administrator Name?
Much thanks, even just for trying.
Yes I agree Guardian OS is probably a lot better.
OS Version is 5.0.133 SP1
