Hey @M-K,
Try this article from Canonical:
"SSSD and Active Directory
This section describes the use of sssd to authenticate user logins against an Active Directory via using sssd's "ad" provider. In previous versions of sssd, it was possible to authenticate using the "ldap" provider. However, when authenticating against a Microsoft Windows AD Domain Controller, it was generally necessary to install the POSIX AD extensions on the Domain Controller. The "ad" provider simplifies the configuration and requires no modifications to the AD structure."

@wes-bryan Hello Wes,
I tried it and when I tried to modified any .conf I get this error. I kept going but when I type in hostname --fqdn I don't get the domain name I get my pc name as like I type in a hostname.
I also watch this video and he had it different steps and I was able to edit in VI editor and the same thing I don't see any domain or I can't log in with my domain control credentials only local admin. It should be the same as windows, for example, mydomain\username right?
He has the full notes on the descriptionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgBh4SZVEZc
Thanks in advance.
