PBISOpen Error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2)

TL;DR :

• Error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2)
• $ sudo apt-get install samba-client
• sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.com #edit to contain "hosts: files dns [...]"

--------------------

PBISOpen (Power Broker Identity Services Opensource edition) is a Active Directory authentication system for *nix.  Read as: "Join Domain" for *nix.

I repeatedly failed to install this on a new Debian Jessie (Testing) machine with the " Error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2)" as the result.

It turned out I had to install "samba-client" and it was important to follow the details in this link especially regarding /etc/nsswitch.conf to contain "hosts: files dns [whatever-else-exists]" where dns is second and before any other entries.

so instead of:

Importing registry...

Error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2)

dpkg: error processing package pbis-open (--install):

New libraries and configurations have been installed for PAM and NSS.
Please reboot so that all processes pick up the new versions.

As root, run domainjoin-gui or domainjoin-cli to join a domain so you can log on
with Active Directory credentials. Example:
domainjoin-cli join MYDOMAIN.COM MyJoinAccount


good luck.
