Hi John, Did you try likewise-open? Its an open source product that allows you to join Active Directory domains with a single command. There is also a gui in the likewise-open-gui package. If I remember correctly it was introduced into main with 8.04 and it is the same product I belive is used in Fedora for joining Active Directory domains through the GUI.
Check out this link for more info on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MIRLikewiseOpen On Thu, 5 Feb 2009, John Moser wrote: > I have a really, really hard time recommending Ubuntu to schools, at > all.
