Realmd discovery and join problem

Latest response

Hello,
I am trying to do discovery with realmd "realm discover --verbose ABC.LCL"
The problem is that our AD domain is very large we have over 200 Domain Controllers in different location.
When i run the realmd to do discovery it randomly picks domain controllers to perform discovery which it does not have access to due firewalls and remote locations.

Resolving: _ldap._tcp.abc.lcl
* Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 164.15.199.11
* Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 164.15.131.131
* Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 10.12.8.15
! Discovery timed out after 15 seconds
abc.lcl
type: kerberos
realm-name: ABC.LCL
domain-name: abc.lcl
configured: no

in the resolv.conf we have local domain controllers defined.
Is there a way to force realmd to perform discovery and domain join on the specific local domain controllers?

Thank you.

realmd uses adcli under the covers. There is an option for adcli that allows you to specify the domain controller to use. Maybe you could try this? It probably doesn't do all the nice extra stuff that realmd does, but if it gets you where you need to get, maybe it's worth it.
