csimmons222 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I am trying to get my unraid server to join my Windows Server 2012 R2 domain. I have gone into the SMB settings on the unraid server and set the domain information. I click the Join button, the webpage reloads and it stills says "Not Joined." The password field is also cleared out after I hit the Join button. In the log, I get the following: Jan 10 16:55:14 sim-unraid-01 emhttp: shcmd (41): /usr/bin/net ads join -U "Administrator"%"*****" |& logger Jan 10 16:55:14 sim-unraid-01 logger: Invalid configuration. Exiting.... Jan 10 16:55:14 sim-unraid-01 logger: Host is not configured as a member server. Jan 10 16:55:14 sim-unraid-01 logger: Failed to join domain: This operation is only allowed for the PDC of the domain. Will someone please help me get my unraid server joined to my domain?!?! I appreciate all the help! Quote Link to comment
marshcroft Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I had the same issue as you log file showed an RPC error. I just connected to unraid via SSH cd /usr/bin at this point ping your FQDN mine didnt reply back due to using my router as DNS, I then set the domain name on my router and still couldnt ping FQDN yet if I pinged justthe domain name it would reply with the FQDN, chances are I am being impatient here and should have either cleared cache or waited. However I then just ran the command net ads join -S dc01 -U administrator it connected and showed it used the correct FQDN and short name. Unraid GUI then showed me as joined. Just to test after this I told it to leave the domain and then used the GUI again to join it as I had tried before and it connected just fine 1 Quote Link to comment
LordRaven Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm currently trying this in Unraid 6b15. I've tried to do it via the Settings and via the telnet with no luck. I had a similar experience when I tried to do so in b14. I've limited my dns servers to only be the PDC. Quote Link to comment
Matt_G Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I know this is an old thread but I couldn't get my Unraid box to join my domain. What finally worked for me was using the local admin account of the domain controller for credentials. Using my user account (which is a member of Domain Admins) would not work. It was driving me nuts. Finally tried that local admin account and viola, it's joined now. Posted this as it may help someone else. BTW, this was on version 6.1.6 Matt Quote Link to comment

I have tried for weeks through the GUI to join my domain to no avail. This command worked. net ads join -S domaincontroller -U administrator Quote Link to comment
