Re: Centrify Express installation fails with AD subnet error

You are correct, nothing related to AD sites/subnets makes sense, however...

We no longer support DFL and FFL 2003.  I am hoping this is not a production Active Directory (fails most audits).

From release notes:

5.   Notice of Termination of Support
[truncated]

This release is the last release in which the following Domain Functional 
Level (DFL) and Forest Functional Level (FFL) are supported (Ref: CS-43754):
·         Windows 2003

I would think that if the APIs for adsites/services have changed, perhaps that client is confused.

I know you posted in Express, but if you did it by mistake and you're a customer, you can downgrade to 2017.2 (5.4.2), otherwise you either upgrade your DC (assuming Microsoft Active Directory, not Samba) for the sake of security first, and then retry.

As far as deployment goes, we understand the popularity of DM, but in reality the best thing to do is to use something like Chef, Puppet, Ansible, etc.

R.P

There are so many other software suites like Chef, Puppet, Ansible for deployment.  That's the best practice.
