Actions

This guide also goes through how to domain join the Linux system (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) to the UNR network.

Install OS and necessary tools

1. Install OS using live disk (When asked for user, make ecc-admin account using the credentials normally used).
2. Log in as ecc-admin.
3. Become root user.

$ sudo -i

4. Copy pbis.sh script from Steamboat (need to edit this step later)
5. Grant execution permission for the script.

$ chmod +x pbis.sh

6. Run the script.

$ .\pbis.sh

Domain join the machine

7. Run the domainjoin-cli command and authenticate using NetID credentials.

$ domainjoin-cli join RD.UNR.EDU $NETID@unr.edu

8. Add the machine to the correct OU (Organizational Unit) using AD (Active Directory). Ask one of the admins to assist with this.
9. When command finishes, reboot the machine.

Confirm NetID login works

10. Click on "Not listed?" at the login screen. (If it doesn't work at first, wait a few minutes and try again)
11. Type in NetID, hit enter, then enter password. If you're able to log in, then the machine has successfully been domain joined.
