Hi, please keep me in Cc:, I'm not subscribed to the list. I have a windows domain, served by a samba server and including about 50 NT workstations. I'm runing 2.2.3 since a month, without problems. Now I'm trying to add a Win2k server ("windows 2000 familly server", it says) to this domain. I read various docs I found in samba distrib and on the web, but I'm stuck with a problem: when I try to join the domain, the machine$ gets properly added to the passwd database (so my add user script is working), the machine$ is also added to the smbpasswd file but with empty passwd: horn$:32766:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[N W ]:LCT-3C865EC6: After a long time the win2k says "welcome to the foo domain" but after reboot when I try to log in as user it says "domain foo is not available". I didn't find anything usefull in the samba logs. Tried with win2k stock from CD, win2kSP1 and win2ksp2. Does someone have an idea ? I spent the whole day on this without a solution.
