Hello all,
My question is what functionality do machine accounts have in a
samba PDC set up? I can authenticate a user and use samba shares sans
any issues, without a machine account. I have done some research but
have not found any concrete info pertaining to this. I appreciate
everyone's time.
Cheers,
Tony
