Hi, Have come across a weird problem and wondered if anyone had any bright ideas.... Have been using Samba to get a Win2K computer to log on to a domain of which Samba is the domain master. This has worked fine for ages as it domain authenticates and loads up the individual user share. However, for some reason, when I log into the Win2K, it comes up with no user preferences, no shares and loops around an error saying "there was an error in explorer.exe". This makes it OS unuseable and I have to log off again. Thought it might be Win2K but using the computers own domain works fine with no problems at all. The computer is acting like it almost cannot find the domain master and yet was able to join the domain successfully consistently. Any help much appreciated....
