      Why are you doing this to yourself?

      Because, can.

        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.

                  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

                                    Because it is not an account managed by AD. Do you have a root AD account?

                                        But my local account on Ubuntu was just called aj and my AD account is ajstringham

                                          Not sure why it stepped on your unmatched accounts. Lacking keys might have done it, though.

                                            Wish I could be helpful I haven't had a need to do this since... 2010? And that was for college.

                                            I do remember that everyone was struggling with Ubuntu to get it connected to AD but CentOS (which is what I was using at the time) worked flawlessly.
