Could not authenticate with domain controller: Client not found in Kerberos database.

Hi All,

NetApp Release 8.2.1 7-Mode

I was performing CIFS SETUP and wanted to join domain.I received the error
*Could not authenticate with domain controller: Client not found in Kerberos database.*
CIFS - unable to log into domain as Administrator@DOMAIN.ORG.
preproap01a:nbt.WINS.registrationTimeout:info]: *NBT: No WINS server are responding. The filer will continue to try to register with WINS.*

preproap01a* options cifs.wins_servers

Steps performed:
1. Created a computer account in the AD on DOMAIN.ORG
that has the same name as the vfiler
2. Time synced with DOMAIN.ORG

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Amber
