RE: [Samba] Argument createcomputer does not work in net rpc join
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.

No. Net rpc join does not support creating the machine in a specific OU.

Because 'net rpc join' is for join NT4 equivalent domains which have no concept of OUs.

Sounds fine for your case but this should not be part of the core net rpc jon code itself.

Hello, Any suggestions or pointers from the folks would be highly appreciated. I didn't attach smb.conf since this was a generic question. Thanks in advance.
