Active Directory registration not working Windows 7 x64 client

Much appreciated Tom, with powershell, first time I’ve used this, I was able to get the contents, seems log gets emptied at some point. This is what I see:

[/CODE]Error looks similar to [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-hostnamechanger-padding-is-invalid-and-cannot-be-removed.1078/’]this thread[/URL].
Had an a.b.c style DOMAIN, Administrator user did not have domain name in front. Have triple checked I got the password correct. The user is “Administrator” i.e. with all permissions as of this moment, as I’m trying to debug one problem at a time.

This is what I get with the original HostnameChange.dll:

From your comments [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/requests-for-wiki-access-ask-here.3811/page-2#post-42253’]here[/URL]. I am assuming that you have partly figured this out?
This error usually occurs due to the password not being encrypted correctly.
Check here and double check your settings.

OR the user you are inputting does not have the proper rights in your AD to join computers to the domain. -

It is worth mentioning that this user needs to be a domain user with rights to add computers to the domain, not a user on the computer. -

Yep, it’s the domain administrator. I just wanted to avoid having permission issues, so using max permissions for now.

That’s what one would think, but have triple checked the password, and got another person to check the encrypted password too.
But note I was using the old HostnameChanger and the new one. What error does indicate password not being encrypted correctly? Because I got different errors in both cases.

16/02/2015 2:49 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger Domain Error! (‘Unknown Error’ Code: 1326)Those errors are messages coming directly from microsoft during the domain join process.
Look them up and you may have a better/clearer answer. The error codes you see are not FOG generated
-
The error codes appear to be as per [url]http://www.hiteksoftware.com/knowledge/articles/049.htm[/url]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 42287, member: 7271”]Look them up and you may have a better/clearer answer. The error codes you see are not FOG generated[/quote]
Yep, they are generated by the old HostnameChanger. But the new one says this:
[CODE]16/02/2015 2:41 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.
16/02/2015 2:41 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManagedTransform.DecryptData(Byte

Boolean fLast)
at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManagedTransform.TransformFinalBlock(Byte[] inputBuffer, Int32 inputOffset,
Int32 inputCount)
[/CODE]As this is a different error message, does that mean that perhaps the encryption key of the new HostnameChanger is not the default one?
The old dll error message may seem to indicate I really have a problem with username/password, and I’ll check that again.
-
Which new one are you referring to?
The one from the github fogproject repo? Or the one from the fogservice repo?

The one I downloaded [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/forum/threads/active-directory-registration-not-working-windows-7-x64-client.11514/#post-42039’]from here in this thread[/URL].

OK, I had both the old dll and new dll in the directory, and it seems the service picks up both. That’s confusing. When using the new dll, I get this output (as already posted):

-
PS: it would be great if someone had a tip on how to compile HostnameChange.dll on Linux and produce a .dll that’s recognised. Then I could do some actual debugging!
-
And to repeat, with the original HostnameChange.dll I get this:

And your username field is not in the format domain/username?
-
Wow, compiliation actually works if I compile the FOGService.exe as well and copy that first. That’s great, can now do development on Linux.
-
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 43893, member: 7271”]And your username field is not in the format domain/username?[/quote]
No, it wasn’t. The domain name is automatically appended I saw already. The problem is that the password is garbled. When I hard-code it, everything works. Narrowing down to the culprit.
-
One thing I found out is that you cannot use the fully qualified name as domain in the active domain settings of a client. It must be in NetBios format. The reason is that the backend returns the user name as “<DOMAIN><username>” and if you have as domain “fog.example.org” you get a user name “fog.example.org\Administrator” for example, which won’t work.
-
The error, as everyone expected, was indeed in the encryption key. Somehow there is a difference between how HostnameChange encrypts/decrypts. I put in some debug code to encrypt my password and the encrypted hex is completely different. When I enter this encrypted hex in the active domain settings, everything works. Now tracking down why HostnameChange encrypts differently from the standard FOGCrypt (recompiled that from scratch as well, same output as standard binary).
-
This completely depends on your set ups environment yes there are times were having the fully qualified domain name works perfectly and there are times where it doesn’t I don’t know the specific settings that cause these issues or how to fix them but they are completely environmental
