Hi Samba Support, I'm in an all Windows environment with about 60 Win XP workstations and 10 Win 2K Pros, served by a Win 2K Server and have mails on Exchange 2000. But Mine!! and I mean Mine! stability is a problem! I read about the ability of Samba as a PDC. Please I need to implement this technology quickly to the situation and buttress my initial arguement that the right choice was an X environment. I've tried working on the smb.conf to get things straightened aout but am at ground zero here I can get the XP wks to logon naturally from scratch as they will do in a native environment. i use linux 7.2 and have placed an order for the 7.3Pro and The Adv. svr 2.1 all in an attemt to get the problem solved. Can You tell me what I'm doing wrong and also would be very grateful if I could get a Step by SStep instruction on how to implement this and also have a mail system to move with it. We are actually looking at replacing The Win 2k Server and Exchange. I NEED HELP!!!!! Worried, Ato Yawson NET Admin NetSUS #28 Ind. Lane TF 188 Tradefair, GA Accra

You can make that happen on any distribution of linux and other unix-type operating systems. Rather than spend your money on that software I'd hire a consultant with samba expertise for a day or two to get you up and running.

Did you try to join the XPs to the domain? What happens when you try? Did you get any error messages in the samba logs? (/var/log/samba/*) What does your smb.conf look like? don't worry you'll get it all working! brad

Would be grateful if u could show me how.it's not a plain text password issue - you don't want that. You need a reg patch to disable the signorseal behavior in winXP just do a google search for signorseal and you'll get the info. the .reg file is in the samba distribution tar.gz file> > I can't say what you're doing wrong because you've not provided much > > detail about what is wrong.
