Hi, I just came across your post, did you find a solution?

I am testing adding a Debian 12 machine as a computer to a Active Directory domain controller on Windows Server 2025 testing vm and am experiencing the same problem.

I am trying to go through Group Policy Management Editor and change the default domain controllers policy in Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings and find some settings that could be different by default between 2022 and 2025.

If I find a solution I will update it here.

Hey,

can confirm that SSSD is not able to join AD Server 2025 (with FL/DL 2025). I also tried alot in the Group Policy, but that wont work.

i switched from SSSD back to Samba&Winbind. This works fine!
