I had to my vms and unfortunately, I am having trouble rejoining the domain. I am running rocky 8.8. I have installed realmd, sssd, oddjob, oddjob-mkhomedir, adcli, samba-common-tools krb5-workstation. when I run realm discover it pulls the ad. When I run realm join it throws an error to see journalctl. It has a message about couldnt authenticate as administrator. I am using the same password as I logon to dc.
