Hi, I have the same error message as Kristyan Osborne's original post. What I did was I removed the machine account from smbpasswd and passwd and created same account names, joined the domain again and somehow it worked again. I am running Samba 2.2.5 and I was wondering if this could be a bug.

It been working fine for the past few week until late last week. I can join a machine to the domain and I get an entry in ldap one in ou=3Dcomputers and one in ou=3Dusers (as normal). Everything looks fine until you try to login to the win2k box. When you hit enter after typing in username + passwd you get an error message "The system could not log you on to this domain becasue the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect." I don't think i have changed anything to the config, but i cant belive it just stops working. The machines which have been added prior to last week can still logon to the network and work fine. Can anyone suggest something?? Cheers ----------------------- Kristyan Osborne - IT Technician Longhill High School 01273 391672 - UK --->>>>
