Below are the steps I take to join an Openfiler machine to an Active Directory domain. I hope this helps anyone who is having issues with their setup.
Assumptions:
domain is named: domain.tld
domain controller is dc.domain.tld
Use Windows domain controller and authentication [checked]
Security model: Active Directory
Domain / Workgroup: domain
Domain controllers: dc.domain.tld
ADS realm: DOMAIN.TLD
Join domain: [checked]
Administrator username: domain\Administrator
Administrator password: password
I submit the form once or twice to get the Openfiler server to showup in the Computers OU on the DC, waiting 2-3 minutes between attempts. After it appears I wait another 3 minutes to see if the groups populate on OF. If not I repeat the above again, and OF pulls the groups down.
It’s a little weird, but this behaviour has been consistent for me.
