samba - Nov 2009 - Samba 3.2.15 is working with Winows 7 !!!

Hello to all,

 

After a lot of trying this is the solution for all with samba 3.2.15
installed.

My Windows 7 client machine joins the domain on the fly with this registry
hack.

I can logon without errors and all my netlogon scripts are working:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Para
meters] 
"DomainCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001 
"DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Netlogon\Parameters] 
"Update"="no" 
"DisablePasswordChange"=dword:00000000 
"MaximumPasswordAge"=dword:0000001e 
"RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000001 
"RequireStrongKey"=dword:00000001 
"SealSecureChannel"=dword:00000001 
"SignSecureChannel"=dword:00000001

 

Greatings

	These were key for me.  The other ones were already
in my registry, but these 'values', added under the Parameters 
'key', worked like a charm.  Thanks!

	Not sure what the DomainCompatibilityMode refers to, but
I can understand the DNS name resolution issue being a problem,
since my local domain name isn't really part of my DNS chain.

	Interesting, them making that a requirement -- guess they 
are trying to get rid of that irregularity.  A good heads-up
for me with future Windows versions...*sigh*.

Cant reproduce that...
Always, when I try to join after applying this registry keys I cannot  
join with the error:

"There is more data availlable"

The Samba logs have no corresponding entries.
