Hi all, I need to add a windows nt4 (sp6a) server to our samba-4.1.6 active directory. I installed nt4 as a 'stand alone server'. So far it doesn't work, I get: When selecting to 'create a computer account in the domain': - the machine account for this computer either does not exist or is inaccessible If I create a computer account manually, and do not check 'create a computer account in the domain', I get: - unable to contact the domain controller for this domain. Have your administrator check your computer account on the domain. Internet works, dns is set to my AD dns server. (I guess not that it matters...) So, before trying all kinds of stuff...: Is this (adding an nt4 server as a 'regular client') still supposed to work with recent samba4? Kind regards, MJ

I have a somewhat similar scenario: was able to take an old NT4 PDC running Exchange, virtualize it (to no longer be dependent upon the ancient hardware), have a virtualized Samba3 install take over the PDC duties, demote NT4 to a member server and allow it to continue running Exchange. And I've been wondering ever since what would happen if "upgraded" the Samba3 install to a Samba4 AD, would the NT4 Exchange member server just continue to work? Maybe with the aforementioned DSClient? Chris
