[Likewise-open-discuss] failure to join domain

[Jay Sparks]

Rafal,
[root at shephard bin]# ./domainjoin-cli join --preview 
campus.berkeley.edu '!ieor-admin'
The domain name could not be resolved.

I'm not sure how to fix this.  Nslookup campus.berkeley.edu succeeds.
If I leave off MYacctname, it asks for a password!

my bad on leaving off the third zero (0x0008000e)

thanks for your help...jay
