[SSSD-users] Re: Logging of scheduled tasks - password renewal

[John Hearns]

Thankyou Sumit. Indeed I do have adcli installed, and I am investigating
this issue usign the higher log level which you suggest.

I think this is a problem with domain names.
When I use msktutil to renew the machine password I must explicitly run
msktutil ..auto-update --computer-name  myhostname

This is because  the DNS domain of my workstation does not match the Active
Directory realm name
