Error creating machine acc/APM as a gateway

Hi all,

 

I am trying to create APM as Gateway for RDP clients: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-application-access-11-6-0/5.html

 

During one of the steps you are required to create a machine account. I have followed all the steps in order however i am getting the following error: "Could not connect to domain controller for realm XXXX. Domain join for YYYYY failed: Cannot contact any KDC for realm xxx, principal name: xxx (-1765328228).

 

Any one know why the error is caused/how i can resolve this?

 

Thanks!

    Did you install HF4 or HF5?

     

    I had the same issue in version 11.6.0 HF1. resolved after HF4.

    It seems like the configured domain controller is not reachable(DNS issue or IP reachability).

     

    Try leaving domain controller empty and check nslookup from APM for SRV record for _kerberos._udp.domain.com with the DNS server configured on APM.

    Hi Kunjan,

     

    I will try this out and paste the results here. I am almost sure we did check the dns reachability from the APM but yo0u never konw.

     

    Thanks.
