I am actively trying to join a server running Ubuntu server 9.04 to my
windows Ad domain as a Samba file server. I was directed to several how tos
and after many hours of trying to figure things out, my windows AD/Kerberos
faulted and my network went down, and yes I have backups... I'll get it
fixed, but I'd like to figure out what went wrong, and how something like
this could happen.

 

My final goal is to replace all/most of my windows servers with Linux
equivalents, and although I'm competent in Windows, I am little better than
a newbie when it comes to Linux. I've reached the stage where I can really
break something if I try.. J

 

I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss my situation with someone who
has experience and can possibly identify what steps I need and what I should
avoid in the future... 

 

Thanks
