Ubuntu Integrating with Active Directory with Likewise

In many environments Active Directory from Microsoft may still be very prevalent and if you are using Linux servers it will make sense that we can have a single Authentication domain and that is like to be the AD. The video will step you through the simple process of install likewise-open and joining it to an active Directory domain. We use AD 2008 R2 for the demo. the Linux server we are using in Ubuntu 12.04 and a clean minimal install.

The main steps are:

• sudo apt-get install likewise-open
• sudo domainjoin-cli join example.local andrew
• su – EXAMPLE\Administrator
• login as example.localandrew
• %EXAMPLE\domain^admins ALL=(ALL) ALL with visudo
