If yes verify your DNS Server Configuration with a windows pc

just do a update and install active directory membership from sw instaler.

and just add the pc.

i have install and using successfully.

==================================================

So here goes…

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install likewise-open
sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn.of.your.domain Administrator
sudo update-rc.d likewise-open defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open start

Using the above commands you have installed ‘likewise-open’ which is the package that makes it possible for the Ubuntu client/server to logon to a Windows domain, added the client/server to the windows domain, updated the system services and then started the service.

Now that the LikeWise package has been installed you can now logoff (although I recommend full system reboot) and logon in this format:

DOMAIN\username

You need to ensure that you prefix the username with the Domain name.

Tried this brother...the package is installed but when i try to join the domain it says "Failed to lookup the domain controller for given domain"...
can access sever shares though ...

Also how is the AD domain named ? and does the ubuntu machine resolve the DC server name ?

[mensoft2003]

ya just do a nslookup and see can your ubuntu box can resoleve DC IP by the name .

most of the time somthin abut DNS Server.
how you access share by IP or by NAME ?
