Solved Fog Client 0.8.4 - Join to domain not working

[Frank]

This is an issue discussed with Tom Elliot some days ago and some revisions ago.
When trying to join to samba NT domain client shows an error:

17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger Checking Hostname
 17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger Hostname is correct
 17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger Registering host with active directory
 17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger Unknown Return Code:  50
 17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger Activing host with product key
 17/06/2015 13:31 HostnameChanger ERROR: Windows activation disabled

It seems related to lpMachineAccoutOU which was null in previous releases when it was not specified and now it is blank:

06/12/2015 07:54:25:520 	lpDomain: UPC-CT

06/12/2015 07:54:25:520 	dwOptions: 0x40000003

I was told this would be fixed but no news at the moment.

Thanks for your help.

@Jbob I’m here to make tests if you can.

[Joe Schmitt]

I sent you a chat message a few days ago, can you double check if you got it?

[Frank]

Hi @Jbob . Any news?
Remember I can do any tests if you need to.
Regards.

[Frank]

Thanks @Jbob
I take note of your advise
Tell me if you need to make some kind of test.

Regards.

General rule of thumb: post issues on the forum. Only telling a developer tends to make the issue get lost. I seem to remember Tom mentioning something about this to me awhile ago, but once again, I was never directly told nor shown logs so I forgot about it.

I’ll take a look at Samba NT domains (I may need your help for pre-release testing though).
