"Cannot find KDC" error joining Windows 2000 domain  When I try
to join a Windows 2000 domain, I get the following error:
utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(186) ads_connect: Cannot find KDC
for requested realm.   1. The first thing to do is to make sure
your DNS is working fine on your LAN. It probably is, but the
right answer is often the simplest. Assuming that you can ping
the server and that DNS is set up correctly throughout your
network, then move on to the other suggestions below.   2. Look
at the /etc/krb5.conf and make sure that where it says
"example.com/EXAMPLE.COM" that your Domain/Realm settings match
up.   3. Make sure that you are using the latest version of
Samba, 3.0.13, and that you have gone through the Official How-
to. This was first published in April 2005  Dig Deeper on
