[Samba] Samba PDC, joining XP workstation 'network path was not found'
I have followed the samba-wiki article on 'Replicated Failover Domain Controller and file server using LDAP' http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_file_server_using_LDAP I am using FreeBSD instead of RHEL. I was able to get through the tutorial and get the database populated, and users created. I created the workstation account with the smbldap-useradd -w {machinename}. When going to the XP machine to add it to the domain, I put in the 'DDESIGN' domain, and it puts up the authentication dialog. No matter what I put in that box, I get 'The network path was not found'. If I put in the domain as something 'wrong' it of course doesn't put up an authentication dialog. So I know the domain is alive and on the network. I recall, when setting up a PDC with ubuntu server I ran into this 'network path was not found' error, but I can't remember what I did to resolve it. Any ideas? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Either setup a dns server with the SRV records for the PDC (see the active directory part in the manual). Or use wins and add the wins server to the windows machine. John
