Hi,
the "Failed to join domain: Type or value exists" is caused, when the
machine_name is equal to the fqdn.
This is the case, e.g. if the /etc/hosts file contains only the short
name. The server reports the error and "net" aborts although the join
itself was successfull.
There are serveral issues with the "hostname vs. domainname" thing under
linux.
E.g. the missing driver listings when using the fqdn accessing the samba
server.
I've added a getdomainname() call in the get_mydnsfullname() function in
lib/util.c if the gethostname() call does not contain a ".".
Then the comparison in is_myname() succeeds and the drivers are listed.
But the manpage says, getdomainname() is *not* POSIX. So this all might
end in a configuration issue of the hostname.
Regards,
~ Martin

Are these really the same value ?
do they have to?
When I try to set them to the same value I get the following message
when joining the domain.

Admin's password:
The workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf does not match the short
domain name obtained from the server.
Using the name [DOMNAME] from the server.
You should set "workgroup = DOMNAME" in /etc/samba/smb.conf.
Using short domain name -- DOMNAME
Failed to set servicePrincipalNames. Please ensure that
the DNS domain of this server matches the AD domain,
Or rejoin with using Domain Admin credentials.
Deleted account for 'RMVBS02' in realm 'REALM'
Failed to join domain: Type or value exists
But we have a DNS not matching the REALM.
Could this lead to this problem?
(the above join only works with net rpc join, even while User Admin has
full rights on the domain)
