Hi There,

This is my first post in this forum, i need some help from you guys. :)
We have linux servers that uses CentOS6 and we need to connect these servers to windows domain. How do we do it, is there any guide? I've tried few articles found on the internet but it wasn't success.

Appreciate your help.

Top hit on Google for "RHEL 6 active directory"
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The trick is to pick the official Redhat documentation for RHEL of the same version as your CentOS.
