join domain "failed to complete command"
I am trying to join a Celerra CIFS server to a domain. I am using Celerra Simulator in order to prepare for the real thing.
I have created an AD account in the Computer OU with the name of the CIFS server ("joe").
I have created a CIFS server with this command:
server_cifs server_2 -add compname=joe,domain=mydomain.vm
I then try to join the domain with this command:
server_cifs server_2 -Join compname=joe,domain=mydomain.vm,admin=administrator,ou="ou=Computers"
After being prompted for the password, and after entering the password, I get:
failed to complete command
I can ping dc.mydomain.vm.
Thank you for any suggestions

instead of pre-creating computer account, let Celerra create the account for you during the joining process ( as long as you are using account that has AD rights to do so)

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried it both ways. I am using a member of the Domain Admins group. I get "failed to complete command."
Any other ideas?

Thank you.
I was searching for the server_log file, but once I figured out that it was a command, it showed me that there was a "time skew." Once I set the NTP server on the data mover, I had success.
Again, thanks for your quick replies.
be well,
