Adding Ubuntu 11 to Windows 2008 R2 Domain

I found this video on youtube that had a great tutorial that made adding a ubuntu machine to 2008 domain a snap.

Step 1: install likewise add to domain

From the Ubuntu terminal perform the following tasks. Note replace ad.joznet.com with your domain name.

• sudo apt-get install likewise-open5
• sudo domainjoin-cli join ad.joznet.com administrator
• sudo reboot

From there you can verify the machine is part of the domain by in to the domain controller and checking under computers (Figure 1)

Step 2: Modify samba to allow domain login

• sudo apt-get install samba (not sure if this is required)
• sudo nano /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf
  • • winbind use default domain = yes
• sudo reboot

Step 3: Modify super user doer file

• sudo nano /etc/sudoers
• add the under under ‘#Allow members of group sudo to execute any command’
  • %ad.joznet.com\domain^admins ALL=(ALL) ALL

Step 4: Login as domain user now

• “Other user”
  • administrator@ad.joznet.com
