    Did you try this ?

    Code:

    If yes verify your DNS Server Configuration with a windows pc

    thanks

    just do a update and install active directory membership from sw instaler.

    and just add the pc.

    i have install and using successfully.

    ==================================================

    So here goes…

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install likewise-open
    sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn.of.your.domain Administrator
    sudo update-rc.d likewise-open defaults
    sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open start

    Using the above commands you have installed ‘likewise-open’ which is the package that makes it possible for the Ubuntu client/server to logon to a Windows domain, added the client/server to the windows domain, updated the system services and then started the service.

    Now that the LikeWise package has been installed you can now logoff (although I recommend full system reboot) and logon in this format:

    DOMAIN\username

    You need to ensure that you prefix the username with the Domain name.

    Tried this brother...the package is installed but when i try to join the domain it says "Failed to lookup the domain controller for given domain"...
    can access sever shares though ...

    ya just do a nslookup and see can your ubuntu box can resoleve DC IP by the name .

    most of the time somthin abut DNS Server.
    how you access share by IP or by NAME ?
