The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Joining RHEL5 to an 2008 Active Directory

Asked by rhw0411 in Linux, Active Directory

I have been trying to join a red hat server as a member server to a 2008 Active Directory. I was able to use kinit administrator@domain.com to get a ticket. However when I try to join the domain I get the following: Failed to join domain: Improperly formed account name. I looked at the solution you have and made sure my hosts file contained the DC FQDM and IP. Still no luck. I then tried the likewise open that was suggested on the solution and I keep getting the following: Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080026]

0x806B - Failed to lookup the domain controller for given domain. Check that
the domain name is correctly entered. Check that your DNS server is reachable,
and that your system is configured to use DNS in nsswitch. Check that port 389
UDP is not blocked by your firewall.

I have turned off the firewall, checked my nsswitch.conf file and made the DC which is also the DNS server the Primary DNS server for my Red Hat box.

I think I have spent about the last 3 days trying to get this working. I am not sure where to go from here. Please help!!
