ubuntu and Windows Active Directory

[James Kramer]

I installed a wubi version of Hardy on one of my work computers.  I edited
the smb.conf file and added the our Windows group name and was able to
access most of the computers and printers on the network.  I can not however
access the file server.  We are running Windows 2003 with Active Directory.

Normally, when I connect to a share listed Places->Network.  I am asked to
provide a user name and password and then I am connected.  When I try to
access the file server, I don't receive any message--Nothing happens.

There is no error message or no error log entry

I tired loading
krb5-admin-server

thinking that would solve the problem but it didn't.

I edited smb.conf and assigned
netbios name = jayLinux

I added this name to Active Directory list of computers

Didn't work

I searched google for help on ubuntu and active directory and all the hits
that I get explain how to set up and active directory server.

Could someone explain to me or point me to an article for setting up Ubuntu
so that I can access my work file server.

A good start is play with some of the smb* cli tools and also ensure
that there is no firewall messing with your traffic.  See if wireshark
shows any communication, etc...

I have not had time to implement this yet, but here is a link that explains
how to connect Ubuntu to a Windows network running Active Directory.
