Jerry, Thanks for your response. Any specific reason why 'net rpc join' doesn't support it?
Since we needed this functionality (customer didn't like it when we said we don't support that :)), we wrote a small function that utilizes smbldap_xxx routines. Specifically our small function utilizes the following smbldap_xxx routines: smbldap_set_mod - to set 'cn', 'sAMAccountName', 'objectClass', 'userAccountControl'. smbldap_init - to initialize the connection with AD server smbldap_set_creds - set the credentials for the connection smbldap_add - to precreate the machine account object in the location. Please let me know if we are doing something fundamentally wrong. I will be happy to submit the patch to samba group or to anyone who requires it.
