samba - Oct 2010 - Problems with Windows 7 on domain, Samba server not

I've googled and read, and haven't run across any solutions to this 
problem. Yes, I know about the "Network Security: LAN Manager 
authentication level" change, but, as you will see, this isn't the 
issue.

Samba 3.4.7
Windows 7

Windows machine is on a domain. Samba box is *not* on a domain.

Windows insists on adding the domain to the user name when browsing to 
Samba machine. Saving credentials and editing in Credential Manager 
kind of works, and the Samba share will open once the password is 
entered yet another time (don't know why)but it only saves it until 
logout.

Adding the samba host/user/pass in Generic Credentials doesn't seem to 
make windows use that user/pass for that host.  Ideas?

Oh, and using 'net use...' with the Samba system's user/pass works
just
GREAT, and we may resort to that, but were trying to avoid it.

Any other tricks I can do? So users can easily log in from the GUI?

Do you have an account (or accounts) for on the samba server for the 
Windows user(s)?  Are the passwords the same?
Does the samba server "workgroup" name match the domain name on the 
windows clients?

Can you use the "username map" option in smb.conf and have a username 
map file that maps "DOMAIN/user" to "user" ?

The account names are the same on the server and in the domain.

No. Their domain password is not the same as their system password.

No.

Had not tried that,  But neither

OUR_DOMAIN\jkugler

nor

OUR_DOMAIN/jkugler

allows me to log in from the Windows 7 system, so I'm not sure what's up
there.

As I mentioned, using

net use w: \\server_name * /USER:<user_name>

works just fine.

This is an old thread, but I wanted to register a solution.

All that is required when entering a user name for the 
outside-the-domain Samba server is to enter the name as:

\username

The leading \ removes the domain from being sent.  Works for me, YMMV!
