Re: [Samba] Failed to find a writeable DC for domain joining to win2k3 AD DC
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.

Re: [Samba] Failed to find a writeable DC for domain joining to win2k3 AD DC
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.
