with samba 3.5.1 if I were to join a server to the domain and specify an OU
to create the computer object in, i get

Failed to join domain: failed to precreate account in ou (null): Out of
memory

However, if I run the same command with samba 3.4.5 it works.

Did the syntax change? I cannot see anything about it

net ads join createcomputer="Linux_Servers" -U <user>%<pass> -n core278468

here is a -d 3

Anyone else have this problem? We are kind of stuck as 3.4.x seems to hang
when any of our multiple AD servers are rebooted, and 3.5 seems to not have
that problem. Right now we are installing 3.4.5 then upgrading to 3.5.1, we
would much rather install just 3.5.1

I think you hit bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7204.
The patch will be included in Samba 3.5.2 (scheduled for April 7).
Maybe you would like to test the patch...

Cheers,
Karolin

ah excellent I did not see the other bug that was filed, probably need to
look closer next time.
I am building 3.5.test and will see how that goes .Thanks!

3.5-test that includes that patch worked like a charm, thanks!
