[Samba] join domain and add machine script - phenomenon :-(
hi list, after 2 years samba 2.5a-ldap-pdc used from more than 1000 users without any problem i want to upgrade to samba 3.0.2a! the problem is to join to domain and automatically create the ws-account. step by step it looks like (sorry for the bad translation - i've only german version of w2k/sp3): 1) systemproperties/join domain 2) i fill in the correct username and pwd 3) a few seconds later i get an error like "user could not be found" 4) ok-click to this message and once again ok for joining the domain 5) after a few seconds it succeeded and everything else works well i found out that the problem is the search dn because i've the ous clients and users and this is the phenomenon: at the first try the ws-account is created on the right place - in ou=Clients - but then it will be searched in ou=Users and so "user could not be found" is ok, because in ou=Users isn't such a account! ok, but i you try it again the client will be searched in the right ou (ou=Clients) and then it works! for those one, who likes to read logfiles near than 5000 lines - i can send you the log! is this a known bug? for manual work it's no problem, but with automatic softwaredelivery this situation is very bad. thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my very bad english - i'm from austria ;-) greetings thomas reisenbichler
