[SOLVED] Join Linux Mint 17 to Active Directory

[Artur005]

Hello!

How can I join Linux Mint 17 MATE to windows domain?
In Mint 16 I use LikeWise, but there is not LikeWise on Mint 17. In Google I found what I can use "realm", but then I try to join "realm join -v -U <myadminuser><mydomain>", it asking my password, and then:

* Unconditionally checking packages
* Resolving required packages
* Installing necessary packages: samba-common-bin
! Failed to enroll machine in realm: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

samba-common-bin: Depends: samba-common (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2) but 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1 is to be installed
Depends: python2.7:any but it is a virtual package
Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2) but 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1 is to be installed

realm: Couldn't join realm: Failed to enroll machine in realm. See diagnostics.


I reinstall samba-common, but nothing change...
Then I enter "adcli info <mydomain>" it show all info about my domain, when I enter "adcli join -v -U <myadminuser><mydomain>" then:

*Using domain name: <mydomain>
*Calculated computer account name from fqdn: <computername>
*Calculated domain realm from name: <MYDOMAIN>
*Discovering domain controllers: _ldap._tcp.<mydomain>
*Sending netlogon pings to domain controller: cldap://<ip>

I am having the exact same problem. I need to join my machine to our domain, and I have no access to likewise open which I used to use to accomplish this in Mint 14-16. I've gotten all the same errors as the user above. Anyone have any insight?

Hi, I found out how to get likewise on Linux Mint 17, just download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and install. But I still want to know alternative, because likewise join machine correctly only 1 of 20 tries... The same problem was on Mint 16...

And I skipped step 7., otherwise I have problems with shutdown... {AD users when press shutdown just logout}
