Contacting the primary domain controller

The server now uses this information to establish contact with the primary domain controller and, among other things, to get the domain name.

If the contact can be succcessfully established, continue with confirming the choices.

If the contact could not be established, an error message is displayed that describes the problem, e.g.:

ERROR: Creation of remote account failed - Server Unavailable. The primary domain controller ‘<primary name>’ is not running or is not connected to this network.

Do you want to retry [y/n]?

Check whether

●it is possible to reach the primary domain controller using the ping command.

●the domain name and the name of the primary domain controller can be resolved by the local NetBIOS. Refer to the section “Installing NetBIOS” on how to accom- plish this.

●the local server name can be resolved by the NetBIOS of the primary domain controller. If the primary domain controller is an Advanced Server for UNIX computer, refer to the section “Configuring NetBIOS Name Resolution” . If the primary domain controller is a Windows NT server system, please refer to the Microsoft documentation.

●the primary domain controller has been started.

●the server name of the primary domain controller, the login name of the adminis- trator and the password have been specified correctly.

If the problem can be fixed immediately, enter y to re-establish the connection to the primary domain controller.

If the problem has to be fixed later, enter n. In this case, the installation will proceed, but the server will become a primary domain controller (!) with a temporary domain name, so that you can complete the configuration after the problem is fixed:

ÊUse the command /var/opt/lanman/bin/joindomain to change the role of the server to a backup domain controller.
