192.168.0.1 llnserver llnserver.lln.local
192.168.0.2 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

when typing net ads join -U administrator -S llnserver.lln.local i get ‘Joined ‘DEBIAN-PROXY’ to realm ‘LLN.LOCAL” and the error that is standing above.

what am I doing wrong?

So for instance if you had. 127.0.0.1 localhost, localhost.localdomain Change this to 127.0.0.1 servername, servername.yourdomain And of course replace those with your actual names, whatever they may be. Save the /etc/hosts file and then retry joining the domain. Hope that helps!
