Can anyone help me out with my SAMBA PDC creation? I followed all the sample lab/setups but still i receive message such as the one below... ****************************** The domain name TESTDOMAIN might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS. If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.

The error was: "No DNS servers configured for local system."
