Unable to bind the HPUnix clients to Windows 2008 R2 Server

  • Artigo

 

Recently we had a customer, who was having issue binding the HP UNIX client to Windows 2008 R2 server. We started with installing the patch https://support.microsoft.com/kb/983574 to update the RPC drives.

Still we were getting issue.

Then we checked the below entries:

Under the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file, we confirmed that the entries below were set

NIS_DOMAIN=domainname 

NIS_CLIENT=1 

Then we made the entry of the hostname and IP address of the Windows server in the /etc/host file of HP UNIX.

Then we restarted the ypbind service. Still we were getting the same issue.

Rests all the setting was looking good. So we checked the IP V4 properties on the Windows server and found the subnet mask had incorrect entries. So we modified the entry and then restarted the Server for NIS service and the ypbind service on the HP Unix box. This resolved the issue and the HP unix client was able to bind to the Windows server.
