My Objective:
Nethserver, to be primarily used as domain controller AD and as fileserver
Some Parameters and Status achieved:
Windows 7 host 64bits:
IP 192.168.201.110
Nethserver is installed in Windows 7 host, Virtual Box, VM name:. server3. samba.local,
IP 192.168.201.140 (static IP)
nsdc-server3.samba.local is installed in Linux container and running
IP 192.168.201.141 (static IP)
Problem:
join candidate computer to domain fails
user: admin
Domain: samba and samba.local (both attempted)
Results:
user ID and password get interrogated and specified
cannot join domain “Network path was not found”
Investigations performed:
With CLI of nethserver:
• nslookup nsdc-server3.samba.local - > 192.168.201.141 i.e. ok
• nslookup-nsdc-server3.samba -> 192.168.201.141 i.e. ok
• ping nsdc-server3.samba.local -> ok
• ping nsdc-server3.samba -> ok
With CLI of Windows 7 host
• ping nsdc-server3.samba.local -> ok
• ping nsdc-server3.samba -> ok
simultaneous pings from various IP Addresses (nethserver 192.168.201.140 + at least 1 more from local network (192.168.201.0/24))
• ping results change periodically from sequences of good results (between 5 and 10 pings) to
• ping sequences with time out failure. (between 5 and 10 pings)
• Failures occurring everywhere simultaneously.
Questions:
• Is there a network instability with respect to nsdc-server3 or is this behaviour to be expected?
• Can I nevertheless expect good results, when trying to join the domain?
• What can I do?
• Can anybody help me?
Help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Karl
