Sorry, I didn't realize we were carrying on off-list. Figured it
out--had been giving samba-tool the hostname for both domain and realm,
rather than, hmm, the domain and realm. (I think because in my case my
domain and realm have two parts, unlike the HOWTO where they have
three...confusion.) Works great now! Even without the new DC in
resolv.conf nor "domain ..." in there either, just "search ..." and
"nameserver [olddc]". Thanks for your help Daniel, hope this point
helps someone else too.

Look at your /etc/resolv.conf
There should be an entry of your existing DC in it ex.: nameserver
your.existing.dc
And you should be able to ping the existing DC.

Betreff: [Samba] �Failed to find a writeable DC for domain� joining to
win2k3 AD DC
I have a CentOS 6.4 box with SerNet's Samba 4.0.8 installed and no smb.conf
file yet, as it should be. I want it to become an AD DC in my existing
Windows domain, replicating from the existing Windows Server
2003 box. I have SELinux enabled and want it to stay that way.
I'm getting this error trying to run samba-tool:
$ sudo samba-tool domain join currentwindowsadserver.mydomain.lan DC
-Uadministrator --realm=currentwindowsadserver.mydomain.lan
Finding a writeable DC for domain 'currentwindowsadserver.mydomain.lan'

raise Exception("Failed to find a writeable DC for domain '%s'" %
domain)
I have a StackExchange thread open with all the things I've tried changing
and all the things I've verified so far:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/86516/samba-4-gives-failed-to-find-a
-writeable-dc-for-domain-on-samba-tool-domain-jo
I'd appreciate any pointers. I seem to have run out of things to try.
Thanks,
Kev
