Not able to add computer in Domain

I have installed the UCS. Now I am adding the windows server in domain but it is throwing the error.
here is the error…

host (a) or (aaaa) records that map the names of the domain controllers to their ip addresses

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thank You

I guess you have used search functions, did you? First entry on Google:

But you tried to join as a member server, yes?

Hello Knebb,

Thank You for the response.
The which you have referred that shows how to add the computer to windows active directory.
I am adding my computer TO UCS Domain. while adding the computer i am getting above error message.

Thank You

What’s the output of

ipconfig /all

on the windows client (cmd)? Are the listed DNS servers only UCS servers?

Yes - DNS server is only the UCS server that I have configured on windows server 2012 client.

Well, for the client there is not really a difference if he joing MS-AD or UCS-AD which is the purpose of UCS!). The error message mentioned surely points to a misconfigured DNS.

And what about my second question: die you try to join as a member server or as a DC-controller?

If asked for output, please post the output here so we can verify- it is not helpful to tell us everything is fine. The error message points to an DNS error, so we would like to verify.
So, what is the output of the ipconfig /all on Windows? What is the output of ip a on UCS DC?
What is the output of nslookup _ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.your.domain on Win?

Ok, this looks good, indeed.

I am just wondering what domain name do you enter when trying to join? And, again, you join the Win machine as a member server, correct? Or are you trying to join as a backup or slave?

computer name : marif-PC
trying to join marif-PC to mytech.intranet Domin.
I am trying to add windows server as member server.

can i add attachment here?

-Arif

is there any way to make sure DNS service is running fine on UCS server? or i can get some debug logs regarding DNS service?

-Arif

You may run:

/usr/share/univention-samba4/scripts/check_essential_samba4_dns_records.sh

rg

And you might want to have a look at:

I was trying to uninstall and install Active Directory-compatible Domain Controller…

Could not fulfill the request.

Server error message:

Name or service not known. This is probably due to the DNS settings of your server. You may find help at https://docs.software-univention.de/manual-4.2.html#networks:dns.

Does that lead to somewhere?

-Arif

Well, it points to exact the same reason we were pointing to all the time - DNS. We just have not found the root cause yet.

So please re-check your network settings again. Check if you have external nameservers configured and in your network settings your DC master ist set as DNS-Server, too.

FYI:

I have started /etc/init.d/samba-ad-dc

root@ucs-7370:/etc/init.d# ./samba-ad-dc status

It looks like samba4 did not get installed in the UCS system…

root@ucs-7370:/etc/init.d# systemctl status samba4.service
● samba4.service

Active: inactive (dead)

Same result i am getting when i am trying to start from GUI.

Thank You

You do not have samba4 installed.

UMC --> Software --> Apps --> install samba4 (Samba AD-Domain Controller).

I had install it but it was not coming up automatically.
even though samba4 seems to be not required running in back end the service is required that is samba-ad-dc.

I checked samba-ad-dc was not coming up automatically because it was masked by other services.

root@ucs-7370:/var/log/samba# systemctl start samba4.service
samba-ad-dc Failed to start samba-ad-dc.service: Unit samba-ad-dc.service is masked.

I have unmasked this service and start it. Still it did not work.

so i installed UCS server again and now i am able to add my windows client in domain and able to login with Domain user.

Still we did not have root cause, why this issue comes but i had learnt many things regarding UCS server and clients.

Thank You for all the UCS help users that supported and answered my Queries.
