Hi, any one has successfully joined a Windows 7 workstation to a samba (3.0.33) domain on CentOS 5.8? I am wondering if I need to install a newer version (from sernet by example) or if I can keep the old one and try harder... Thx, JD

You need at least version samba 3.2.12 or higher. You also need two registry entries on the machine. See this link: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 You do not HAVE to use the sernet/enterprisesamba.org though, there is a samba3x included in CentOS-5.8 that works just fine too: do this to see the packages: yum list samba-3x\* If you would like to try the smb2 protocol ... then you might try getting samba 3.6.x from enterprisesamba.org for CentOS-5: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/ If you are not interested in smb2, then the samba3-3.5.x packages from CentOS should be fine. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know if CentOS did some backporting in 3.0. We use the packages from sernet which work fine. You need two registry settings else you won"t be able to join workstations to your domain.
