Hi @ll, has anybody joined a beta domain with success,if so, which was the used smb.conf i ve tried serveral ways on my test net and i was able to join but after reboot the client , i got message computer account is not trusted. trough many studies on the faq i see no failure on my setup. the machine account is in passwd like testpc$ and in smbpasswd testpc$. is this a failure to the beta or is it possible that it is related to any patch which was released by ms a few days ago. my test client ist fully patched with all possible win updates ad it joins a win2000 server without problems regards -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte l?cheln!
