Hi, A few weeks ago I posted a question about joining WinXp clients to a Samba 3.02a domain, using Red Hat 9 and samba as a PDC. I manually created the machine accounts for 8 clients on the server, and got 4 clients connected with no problem. The other 4 for returned error unknown user name when changing the computer name and domain. The signseal registry entry had been modified. However if I added a machine account to samba which was the same as the clients existing computer name and just changed from workgroup to domain on the client it worked. An example may explain it a bit more clearly: WinXP original computer name is George and Workgroup is workgroup. I want to change it to computer name accounts and domain acqua. I add accounts$ user to samba, and then attempt to modify WinXP client. Goto properties of My Computer, then change computer name. Set computer name to accounts and domain to acqua. Dialog box is displayed asking for user and password, enter root and password, then an error is displayed saying user name not found. Go back to server add account George$ and retry modifying client. This time get dialog box saying Welcome to Acqua Domain. It is not really a problem now, but I am very curious to find out what would cause this - considering 4 workstations with WinXP had no problems at all, and 4 did. Thanks Tim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25ยข http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/print_splash
Hi Tim, You are changing the computer name in the same time of domain. When you try to put your machine in a domain, the computer name sent to samba server is George and not accounts. You must change your computer name first and after put it in a domain, and of course you must create your account in samba server first.

Hi Tim, I think that I changed the computer name and then had to reboot XP for it to take place before changing the domain name.
