@IRJ Some of us are actually addicted to the pain man, it's an illness! But! The more we do it the better we get and the less it hurts

I think you said you use Ubuntu predominantly? If you use the GUI it is very simple to join the Ubuntu machine to an AD domain.
I have no GUI on Ubuntu Server.
Sorry I was trying to remember the authentication module that Ubuntu has. It is called winbind

Yup, found this.

It's so true it hurts!

So I tried joining one of my Linux VMs to the domain and it kinda worked but suddenly I couldn't login with domain creds and my local creds weren't working, so I was totally locked out of my own machine. Rolled back to my backup from 3AM and life is good. I think I'll leave the Linux machines as is...

Don't you quit on me, that burning itching uncomfortable sensation is the learning... Besides then you can tell me how you did it and I can learn from your pain

Ya, sorry I didn't have a chance to look through it, just had some keywords that I remembered from when I tried it. Instead of rolling back you could always start it in single-user mode and look at the logs to see what caused your logins to fail. Troubleshooting is part of the fun.

Too late...rolled back already.

Besides, I couldn't access the system period. Kind of hard to troubleshoot when you can't connect via SSH and there is no GUI.

I found this same walkthough on my own too though.

Did you have keys set up first? Was root impacted too? Or did you forget to enable root first?

I've had some serious issues with the directions on Ubuntu's site. Their how-tos for really basic stuff that people test all of the time are fine. But once you get away from consumer tasks into real enterprise and business tasks things tend to be unmaintained and sometimes downright fake.

No, and no. I can use the user root by typing su and entering the root password, but I can't login directly as root.

Yeah, missing that would cause problems, I would assume. I would do both before attempting that as you need some way in other than the system you are trying to implement.

I have it working now. I don't know if it would have made any difference.

Well, in theory, alternative access protects you as they should not be affected by password management schemes.

Right but why would root work as a local account if my other local account wasn't working? That's more what I'm curious about
