[Samba] Samba as a PDC for W2K Network

Hi all.  I hope someone here can help me with a bit of trouble I seem to be
having with Samba and Windows 2000.  Here's the deal:

	We are attempting to setup a Red Hat 7.3 machine (SYMPHONY2) running Samba
2.2.3a to act as a File Server and PDC for a number of Windows 2000
workstations.  I have followed the instructions from
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html but
unfortunetly, that is not working.  I've attached my smb.conf file at the
end of this email but I'll go through the rest of the stuff now.  We setup
our Samba machine temporarily on a seperate network, INAVNET2 and that is
what we are trying to connect to.

	From a Windows 2000 workstation (CORP), I try to change the Network
Properties to join INAVNET2.  I recieve the message "The domain does not
exist".  However, from that same machine I can browse with Network
Neighborhood and see the INAVNET2 domain.  I can even get into the machine
and browse a few of the directories.  Also, a 'net view
/domain:INAVNET2'
points me right to the Samba machine.

	I have setup a Machine Trust Account with the following commands with no
success:
/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "corp" -s /bin/false corp$
passwd -l corp$
smbpasswd -a -m corp$

	I'm a little befuddled.  Any advice or something I may have missed in my
smb.conf file?  Thanks a bundle in advance.

Welcome to my world. I'll bet if I take my laptop there it will work too.

What do your log files on the samba server say?  Try running the smbd
daemon with a -d3 switch and see what the logfiles say.  You can edit
the /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb to add the -d switch to smbd and nmbd.

Matt, you are at least missing:

    domain logons = yes

I'm not sure if that's the correct syntax, but that's where I would
look at
first.

Cheers,
Thomas

As far as I know (and as the HOWTOs say), you cannot join a domain with
Win2K after you've created a Machine Trust Account manually. Rather,
give root a password in /etc/[samba/]smbpasswd (different to his unix
password) and create the trust account on the fly, as described in the
HOWTOs.

That should be on separate lines.

[Samba] Samba as a PDC for W2K Network

Try logging on as a different user on the
machine;  if it still reboots, it's probably not
the user's profile (I've had corrupt .dat files
cause bsod's right after login).

Log onto the machine as the machine (local)
administrator.  If it doesn't reboot, see if the
Cdralw2k.sys file is in \winnt\system32\drivers.
If it is, rename it to Cdralw2k.bad;  if the
Service is still listed, you can use srvinstw.exe
from the Win2k Resource Kit to remove it.

Reboot and try to log on as the user having the
reboot after logon problem, to see if it still occurs.
If it does, log on as the administrator again;
delete the problem user's profile.  Log on again
as the problem user, to create a new profile.
See if it reboots after logon.  If not, great!
If it does, we'll need more info to help
troubleshoot it.
