I an running CentOS 4 and using a application called SadMS to help me configure the system to join my existing Windows 2003 AD Domain. I think the problem lies with Kerberos. I am afraid I am a bit un-educated in Linux so pardon me if I ask novice quetsions....

Here is the output from SADMS when attempting to join domain
(I bracketed the error with '*****):

I have never tried this but did you follow the initial install instructions. Looks like you need to reset the domain admin password.

I've already figured this out. It turns out I had to manually add my DC to the /etc/hosts file. Good times.

yeah, name resolution usually helps.
