I was really impressed by that headline, but joining a domain can be tricky. Do you have any experience with it? Anyone else think it's possible? Would you like me to find a tutorial or help you through the process? I'm curious if Linus has shared anything about it! 😊
Apparently it is something you do during OS installation: https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-21-04-is-here ~edit: If you want to make a video suggestion, there's a thread for it here: Though, I'm not certain what's so exciting about watching someone install Ubuntu and having it join an AD. It's not something most people outside a corporate environment would care about.
I've tried installing the OS several times, but I can't locate it. It seems they're using AdsysD for the connection, which appears to be a more automated setup compared to what's currently in place with Realm and SSSD. The OS config works when you specify the domain, but I'm struggling to figure it out.
