Debian join windows domain

December 23, 2010 by Igor Drobot 20 Comments

1. Introduction

I recently was assigned the task of joining a Debian server to a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. Though most of the documentation I read for doing this was rather straightforward, 100% of that documentation turned out to be only 75% useful. While all were easy to follow, at the end of the day I found myself piecing together bits of information from all different sources. Only after deciphering cryptic log messages, consulting my colleagues, and experimenting did I finally have this working. Here I try to provide a complete walkthrough of this joining procedure, paying close attention to the often overlooked details I encountered in my trials.

I use:
Debian squeeze
samba 2:3.2.5-4l
winbind 2:3.2.5-4l
krb5-config 1.22
krb5-user 1.6.dfsg.4

There are a lot virtual emulators for windows, but most of them aren’t free and forbidden for commercial use. QEMU emulator released under GPL-license and works very well on windows. (I tested it only Windows Server 2003)

You can be downloaded from here – clickme

Windows 7 – Enable Telnet

Telnet

It’s very rare that I use telnet these days, so it took some time for me to notice that by default it was not packaged with Windows 7.

Enable Telnet:

1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Programs And Features
4. Turn Windows features on or off
5. Check Telnet Client
6. Hit OK
