Hi
i am trying to join a win 7 client to my samba pdc. Authentication is via ldap 
which is working fine.
I have added the two windows 7 registry items:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
            DWORD  DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
            DWORD  DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0
I have a samba root passsword setup when I setup the samba PDC with Yast on 
opensuse 11.4. On the win 7 machine, I can see the home shares by typing e.g.
\\hh1\steve
into windows explorer where hh1 is the domain name.
When I try to add the machine to the domain  get the win 7 error:
'The specified computer could not be found. Contact an administrator to
verify
if the account is in the domain. . .'
Root has a samba password which I specify when joining.
Could anyone help here?
My smb.conf is:

        workgroup = HH1

If not, arguments for useradd is not good, so it's not a problem for Samba, but for useradd. Also you had better search why useradd returns 83. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <monyo at samba.gr.jp>
