Seems like it’s the same error as here :
You may try to move away the keytab file with mv /etc/krb5.keytab ~ and restart/rejoin/reinstall AD:
             
            
              
           
          
            
            
              I fixed the problem and I know what is causing this bug
when you install nethserver when you set the hostname during install
if you type say
dtjholdings.co.uk 
in the webgui after install in the top left you get a email address of
root@.co.uk
if you set hostname as
webhost.dtjholdings.co.uk 
in the gui top left you get email address
root@webhost.dtjholdings.co.uk 
so you need a dot before the domain name to get a correct hostname
so when you try to create the ad it shows as
ad.dtjholdings.co.uk 
you need to add the whole domain name in my case
webhost.ad.dtjholdings.co.uk 
also when you install ad and it does not connect with sssd not starting when you uninstall the ad it deletes samba-dc
when you reinstall samba-dc does not reinstall I had to install this manually myself after I installed manually and set the domain name to the above it installed fine with no errors
