Likewise-open5 error code 0x0000200c when /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf exists

[Jacco van Koll]

Binary package hint: likewise-open5

Ubuntu 9.04 (Upgraded from 8.10, which is upgraded from 8.04)
Likewise-open5 5.0.3991.1-0ubuntu2

After installing Likewise-open5, and running the command domainjoin-cli --log domainjoin --loglevel verbose join hellema.loc Administrator, it gives a password prompt. After entering the right password, it displays the following:

# domainjoin-cli --log domainjoin --loglevel verbose join hellema.loc Administrator
Joining to AD Domain: hellema.loc
With Computer DNS Name: hll-int-gw.hellema.loc
<email address hidden>'s password:
Error: Undocumented exception [code 0x0000200c]
An undocumented exception has occurred. Please contact Likewise technical
support and use the error code to identify this exception.
#

Machine is not connected to the domain.
After this action, lsassd is also died.

Also attached is the --log domainjoin logfile.

Please advice?

Looking at the log, it apparently chokes on reading the "workgroup" value from a previous /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf
Do you have an existing /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf file, like a leftover of previous likewise-open (4.x) installation ?

If yes, could you try "sudo apt-get purge likewise-open" to get rid of that file and retry your domain join ? Thanks !

After a mv /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf /root && domainjoin-cli --log domainjoin --loglevel verbose join hellema.loc Administrator, it works!
Thank you very much!

This needs to be doublechecked for the 4.x -> 5.x upgrade scenario.
