PBIS Open On Ubuntu Will Not Join Domain

So here's the sitch:
For about ten years, I've used PowerBroker Identity Services Open (PBIS Open -- and before that, LikewiseOpen) to join Linux boxes to AD domains.  It has always worked flawlessly.  In ten years, I have literally never experienced a problem with
it.
Now I'm in Azure.  I have four Win2K12r2 servers:  two DCs/DNS servers and two IIS boxes.  I have about 20 Ubuntu 14.04 boxes.
All the Windows servers join the domain without incident.  Not a single one of the Linux boxes can join.
Here's what you see when attempting to join the domain:
[root@MSSEADTEST /opt/pbis/bin]# ./domainjoin-cli --loglevel verbose join submittalexchangeazure.net bill.stone
Joining to AD Domain: submittalexchangeazure.net
With Computer DNS Name: msseadtest.submittalexchangeazure.net

Interestingly enough, a machine account is created in AD as a result of the join.  The Ubuntu boxes, however, don't behave as if they're joined.
Any comment is invited.

Susie:
The thing about joining Linux boxes to a domain via PBIS Open is that the machine account is extremely sparse.  Linux and Windows don't speak the same language on any level, so the machine properties are very basic.
The account shows:
Computer name (pre-Win2K):  MSSEADTEST (correct).
It does not show a DNS name because the client barfed and never added it to DNS.
The DC Type:  Workstation or server (also correct).
There is nothing listed in the Operating System tab.
This is Unusual.  Typically you see the OS listed as Ubuntu, the version 14.04, and the service pack as "PBIS Open 8.2.2979.2979.68390".
Member Of:  Domain Computers (correct).
The computer is not trusted for delegation (correct).
Location is blank.
Managed By is blank.
Dial-In:
Control access through NPS Network Policy
No Callback
And that's it.  Aside from the Operating System tab, everything looks the same as on a successfully-joined Linux box.  Given that the join barfed on the client side, I can imagine the Machine account being incomplete.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Will Not Join Domain

    Hello,
    I know this a bit lengthy, but hopefully all the details will better help you guys understand my problem.
    We just purchased an HP Pavilion Windows 8.1 laptop for our office along with the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack upgrade. When I went to install the pro upgrade, it accepted my key and started the upgrade process, but before the install completed, an error was generated
    that stated "Something went wrong. " No error code was generated. I restarted the laptop, it did some updates, and when I logged back in, I checked under the computer properties and noticed that the OS version was changed to Windows 8.1 Pro with
    Media Center, so I assumed that it installed. I checked for corrupted files in the command prompt and no corrupted files were found.
    So, the next thing I tried to do was join the laptop to our domain. I have joined XPs, Vistas, and 7s with no problems, but for some reason, Windows 8.1 does not want to join the domain. Just to be clear, I have the laptop plugged in via ethernet and the
    wifi off, I checked that the DNS of the laptop matched the DNS of the server, and all firewalls have been disabled. It seems to find the domain, but when it asks for the credentials to join the server, it returns an error stating that the domain could not
    be contacted or information was entered incorrectly. I know I am entering the correct credentials because, just to test, I created a new user account on a different machine and used the credentials to join the server. I pinged the server from the laptop and
    vice-versa, and all packets were received with no errors, so I know that they are "seeing" each other. Also, If I join the laptop to a Workgroup instead of the domain, I am able to access the server using the same credentials that it will not accept
    when attempting to join the domain.
    I am baffled. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I had exactly the same issue as above.  When I rebooted my machine, it now shows that the upgrade to Pro Pack with media center is installed.
    Haven't tried adding to a domain yet...  will post an update when/if it fails.  No reply means it joined fine after rebooting it from a failed attempt as above.   I suspect that this had something to do with the fact that I had just logged
    on to the machine and ran setup for the first time.
    Reboot after setting up the computer for the first time, then proceed with the upgrade to 8.1 Pro Pack and I suspect that this issue won't occur.  

  • OSD Task Sequence - Will Not Join Domain

    Good Afternoon!
    I have had much experience with SCCM 2007, but am still getting used to SCCM 2012.  Today, I set up and deployed my first test OSD deployment.  
    Everything worked fine except one little thing - the computer did not join to the domain.
    Below is what I've tried to get this resolved...
    - Verified credentials in TS were correctly entered
    - Tested and was able to join the same computer TS was run on to the domain using the same credentials (including their formatting) which are in the TS.
    - Checked the NetSetup.log in C:\Windows\Debug - It didn't exist.  After joining the domain manually in the step above, it did, though.
    - I didn't see anything that stood out in the smsts.log.
    I'll be happy to attach any log files if needed.   Any suggestions?  THanks!
    Ben K.

    Hi Torsten,
    there is no netsetup.log. As stated earlier in this topic, I'm also convinced that the phase where it goes wrong has nothing to do with SCCM. It looks like the hardware installation phase is somehow skipped.
    The difference between version v01 and v05 are feature installations and software installations. We are building a thick image. It has now grown to approx. 30 GB. Nothing's really special about the image. Except the large application installations.
    We capture the image with a SCCM Capture task, which has always done his job right. :)
    I'm now going to recapture the image. I hope this was just a small bug with the last capture. I use TSMBAutorun to capture to an image. Since I am at a customer now and this is my last day over here, I cannot guarantee to give feedback on the status
    of the capture and imaging task. If possible, I will post the result in this topic.

  • TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

    I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Paths will not join with join tool

    I'm trying to use the join tool on a pencil path but the paths will not join. I saw a similar question earlier, but no answer was given as it was user error. I'm new to Illustrator, and I don't quite get what he/she figured out he/she was doing. One answer was that the open path should not be more than 1 inch apart, and it's not (0.2). I "scrub" with the join tool, get the blue line, but when I release, the line disappears and nothing happens? At this point I can't even figure out what's going wrong so I can backtrack. Ideas anyone?

    Please show a screenshot of the two lines.

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

    Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open,  now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • MacBook will not join Airport network

    I am flummoxed. My MacBook will not join my Airport Extreme network. It was fine this morning. I have restarted the MacBook. I have restarted the Airport base station. My iPhone is connecting to the network fine. My TV is connecting to the network fine. My G4 is connecting to the network fine. So, it appears there is some issue with the MacBook itself. Any ideas what could be the issue?

    First, either update your profile or your OS to 10.5.6. There have been many bug fixes since 10.5.2 and some WiFi updates require the latest Leopard version.
    That being said, check your network preferences.
    Do you have a rational IP Address?
    If you are using an encrypted WiFi, you can temporarily turn off the encryption and see if the MB can join the network. If so, it's an encryption issue. If not, turn the encryption back on and we will have to look elsewhere.
    BTW, you should be using WPA since WEP has long ago been compromised and is useless, but thats a side thing right now.
    On the MB, I would run disk utility and repair permissions for starters.

  • When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why

    When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition.  I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself.  Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.
