How do I join a Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory domain from Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

After configuring your /etc/samba/smb.conf and your /etc/krb5.conf files appropriately, enter the following command:
net ads join -U Administrator
You will then be prompted to enter the domain administrator's password. The domain name used is whatever workgroup = field is set to in smb.conf. To verify that the join is successful, look for the server in the directory controller's server management tool
