[Bug 1551175] Re: "net join" to Active Directory may fail

[Björn Jacke]

so it's in the queue for almost a month now. It would be a pitty if
Ubuntu will ship a version with broken AD join functionality even though
we analyzed the problem, reported it and even provided the debdiff to
you.

Title:
  "net join" to Active Directory may fail

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  in some AD environment the user used to join a machine may only have
  right to create or delete objects but not modify. The net join code
  though recently wants to set the supported encryption typed after
  joining the account, which may fail then. The better approach is to
  create the machine account with all the intended attributes with one
  shot.

  The required patch for this has been added to the Samba master and
  stable 4.4 and 4.3 branches today, see

  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11755

  https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=11872

  As this affects many AD enterprise environments with Ubuntu clients,
  it would be good if this patch would be added to the Ubuntu Samba
  package before 16.04 becomes final.
