[Samba] How to join a domain without using the local administrator
Hi there, I've a question about how to add a Win2000 machine without using the administrator account of the win-client. For example, I want to install a client-machine until the local login. Now I want to sent the pc to a different location where the user should only enter his account and password and domain. The useraccount and machineaccount are already created with smbpassed -ma machine% smbpassed -a user useradd machine$ useradd user But now I have to join the client to the domain, using the local administrator of the win-machine and the the linux root-user. Is it possible to join the machine without using both users (admin and root) - so that an "normal" user can join to the domain like Win9x clients can do it ? My Environment: Samba 2.2.8 configured as PDC SuSE Linux 7.2/Kernel 2.4.16 -- Regards, Jens Strohschnitter ------------------------------------- *!!!LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX!!!* * http://www.jens-strohschnitter.de * ------------------------------------- Set the controls for the heart of the sun -------------------------------------
