Topic: Help Error when connecting to the Domain.

[chrisdewey]

But i know have a problem (The Error below)

The join operation was not successful. This could be because an existing computer account having the name "TES-001-PC" was previously created using a different set of credentials. Use a different computer name, or contact your administrator to remove any stale conflicting account. The error was Access is Denied.

I have changed the computer name but still having the same issue.
The Test PC is username : user
this has Admin rights

ok, it seems that you're trying to join a machine already joined..

log in as root

Code: [Select]

pdbedit -x TES-001-PC$
db accounts delete TES-001-PC$
signal-event ibay-modify Primary

and then try again

P.S: the client machine must not be already joined to a domain; if it is still joined, please unjoin it moving to a workgroup, reboot the client and start over
P.S.2: to join a client to SME you have to use admin's credentials
P.S.3: please, be sure SME is the DNS server for your client and both of them are in the same subnet
