Canonical has made it easy for admins to join Ubuntu Desktop to Active Directory domains.
One particular feature that network and security admins will greatly appreciate is the ability to easily connect Ubuntu Desktop to an Active Directory domain.
How do you join a new instance of Ubuntu Desktop to an Active Directory domain? I'm going to show you.
To make this work, you need to do a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop, because it is during the installation the connection to Active Directory is made.
So download an ISO of Ubuntu Desktop 21.04, burn it to a USB or create a new virtual machine, and prepare to connect.
Congratulations, you can now deploy Linux as a viable desktop solution on your company network.
