[Bug 196809] [NEW] Domain Join doesn't work on Hardy Heron 8.04

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When using the "domainjoin-gui" tool to join an Active Directory (Win
2003) domain I was expecting to be able to type in domain name
(domain.local) and put in authentication details and then connect.

What actually happened:

1.  'domainjoin-gui' kept saying that it couldn't resolve the domain
name (domain.local and DOMAIN didn't work), BUT simple nslookup of
domain.local worked as expected - errorlog1.txt

2.  After manually putting in "<ipaddress> domain.local" into /etc/hosts
the domainjoin-gui proceeded quite a bit further. But, in the process of
attempting to join the domain it killed GDM multiple times. One time I
had to 'CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE' to restart the whole session because it
didn't restore the window manager or desktop toolbars.

3.  With the manual entry in /etc/hosts the domainjoin proceeded to
attempt to join the domain but failed with an 'unknown error' -
errorlog-join1.txt and errorlog-join2.txt


The final result is that I can't join Hardy Heron to my Active Directory (win2003) domain.
