when i try to attach the server into domain using

net ads join -U [email protected] name. i get the error message

[[email protected] ~]# net ads join -U [email protected]*****.CO.IN

Host is not configured as a member server.

Invalid configuration. Exiting....

Failed to join domain: Invalid domain role. i attach the configuration of smb & krb and test results of kinit, testparm, net ads info. in the samba file.

I believe this error is generally reported if the user you are trying to add the machine to the domain with, doesn't have sufficient privileges to do so.

Have you tried using the Administrator account to add the RHEL5 server?

I believe you need to create the computer account in AD before you can join it to the domain.

Good luck
