Description
|
The name that should used for joining the domain is the system's netbios name which is at most 15 chars. When system's hostname is longer that 15 chars join domain would fail.
Domain join operation can fail in either scenario:
Symptom 1:
------------
unable to add machine account to the AD if the Solaris hostname contains more than 20 chars. According to an MSDN article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679635(VS.85).aspx), the SAM-Account-Name Attribute of a machine account cannot be greater than 20 characters.
Symptom 2:
--------------
Machine account is created successfully but NETLOGON credential setup fails due to SAM account lookup failure if Solaris hostname contains 16 - 19 chars.
