Hi Axel, I'm missing this step: * First, create a machine account on the PDC for the client samba machine. Since I'm using an actual NT Server as the PDC, then "follow normal procedures for creating the machine account using the Server Manager". I'm not sure what "follow normal procedures for creating the machine account using the Server Manager" means? When I run the command # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j PERLMUTER on my client samba machine, I get the following errors: # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j PERLMUTER cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine PP01. Erro r was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT. 2000/11/03 09:29:51 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password f or domain PERLMUTER. Unable to join domain PERLMUTER. Do you have any suggestons?

Getting Samba to become a member of an NT domain
Bob, That means run server manager from your nt start/programs/Administrative Tools menu and go to Computer pulldown menu there and click on "Add to Domain" - there you will specify that the Computer Type is Windows NT Workstation or Server, and in the Computer Name field, you will enter your samba servers name. Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Baran, Bob [mailto:BobBaran@St-Ives-Cle.com] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 9:48 AM To: 'Axel Neumann'; 'samba@samba.org' Cc: Walentik, Arthur Subject: Getting Samba to become a member of an NT domain Hi Axel, I'm missing this step: * First, create a machine account on the PDC for the client samba machine.
