Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.
According to the documentation, the argument to net ads join -S is a server name, not a realm or domain name. Does this work if you specify "net ads join -w STAFF.GCD.IE" instead? If it works with -w, then I don't think there is a bug here. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- using "net ads join" with -S breaks if given the long domain name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
