Gatt Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I'm trying to setup censornet 3.3 but having problems trying to pull user & group info offn my windows (2k3 R2 SP2) domain it keeps saying ERROR: Setup could not contact the domain controller, Please check that the IP Address, Hostname, Domain, Administrator Username & Password ar correct The above info is correct but it wont play ball It found all my workstations fine and that they were running VNC Im running in Ethernet Bridge mode if that helps.
plexer Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 what's the time clock in the bios running as is it the same as your dc? Ben
Gatt Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 Yep its the same , well about a minute out but well within the 5 mins
plexer Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 What timezone is it set to is that all the same too? Ben
ChrisH Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Make sure your LDAP path is the right way round and the administrator account is in the default users container.
Gatt Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 @plexer - timezone is correct as far as i can tell (Europe/London) but also tried GMT to no avail @ChrisH - LDAP is in reverse as it states (Pupils/Users/School) Admin user is in the Users container No joy
ChrisH Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I will have a look when I get back to work but there was something that tripped me up last time I did a new install. I shall try to remember what it was when I get back.
ChrisH Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Hmm cant find anything. I have DC IP address Domain FQDN Users limitedusers (my top level OU for pupil/staff accounts) maybe it was a problem with a nested OU that I had? administrator Try pulling users from a top level OU if you ahvent already done. It doesnt help with sorting into groups but it maybe a start.
Gatt Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Still not getting anywhere with this. It only seems to be a problem with obtaining user lists from AD U can get all the PC's on the LAN I can open a shell can connect to AD using pam_auth Have tried various different levels of my OU's (from the root - Moorside, to the lowest 'Year 07/Pupils/Users/Moorside' I have the admin Container set as Users and the admin account inside it - though it's renamed from Administrator (could this be a problem?) the IP, FQDN, Username & Password are all correct.. Yet still get the "coud not connect to DC" error..
ChrisH Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I cant remember if you still have to disable SMB signing to get it to work. Someone else will have top confirm that im not at work.
Busybub Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Have you tried leaving the Users OU bit blank? Should catch every user on the system.
