Join the Debian Linux server to active directory – Using Debian in an Active Directory environment
Now that everything is configured, start samba and winbind back up
/etc/init.d/winbind start && /etc/init.d/samba start
If everything you set in the previous steps was correct, you should now be able to join your machine to the domain. What this does is create a machine account in your Active Directory (and a number of other things behind the scenes).
net ads join -U ((administrative user))
You should see
Joined ((server name)) to realm ((domain)).com
test if winbind is working properly with
wbinfo -t
