Hi All, I recently set up Samba as the PDC of my domain, which consists of 3 boxes, two running Windows XP Pro and one running RedHat Linux 8.0. Everything works fine with one of the XP boxes, and I can logon to the domain with it. However, on the other XP box, it joins the domain fine, then, after it restarts, when I go to logon to the domain I get: "Could not connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down, or because the computer account does not exist." I have created the unix computer account by hand. Here is what shows up in the logfile for the machine: [2002/10/25 20:25:35, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670)? api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO.? This gets written to the log when I join the domain with the computer. Does anyone know what might cause this to happen? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Joshua Ecklund jecklund@ispaceonline.com
Check you have not got theXP firewall enabled (small padlock on the network interface icon but check the actual settings anyway) and try enabling Permit on the Local Security Policy in Control Panel/Admin Tools. I assuming you have the signorseal reg key set?
