I have a problem adding my Ubuntu server to AD. I followed this great tutorial but it fails on join command: sudo domainjoin-cli join myDomain.com Administrator.

It gives me this error:

Error: DNS_ERROR_BAD_PACKET [code 0x0000251e]

A bad packet was received from a DNS server. Potentially the requested address does not exist.

A can ping myDomain.com from server just fine.

How can I solve this?

This would probably be better suited for AskUbuntu.com, or one of the other Unix/Server Stack Exchange sites. – Windigo Feb 1 '12 at 16:37

I had the same issue once and it was because I had 2 NICs. One for this network and another for internet access (was using VMs).

Disabling the 2nd NIC allowed it to work :)
