Hello.

I am trying to slowly migrate my computing needs over from windows to
linux flavored OS such as Fedora, but I am having some issues along the way.


I have fedora core 4 installed on my pc up and running. What I would
like to do is to join this workstation to 2003 server, however I am not
having any luck. WinBind is installed in this pc and enabled. Nic are
properly working and I can ping / resolve the DC controller via ip or name.


When I issue the command via " net rpc join domainname -S -U
administrator

I get an error stating invalid computer name.


I have given my box a proper name eg. fedora.domainname.local and
have created the name fedora in my DC 2003 controller.


What am I missing here? please advise a hardcore Noobie



You need to make sure that your computer knows the 2003 server's IP address, e.g. by putting an entry for it in your /etc/hosts file.
