samba - Nov 2002 - W2k clients wont' join samba

Ralf,

	I am using Samba 2.2.5-10 and haven't had any issues with getting Win2K   
clients to connect to the domain after getting Samba properly configured   
as a PDC. It could be a minor configuration issue. Although, in my   
reading I could only get confirmation that Samba 2.2.5-x would work with   
Windows 2000 Clients regardless of the Service Pack level.

	You might need to take a glance at Samba 2.2.5-10. Sorry that I cannot   
be more helpful then that.

Regards,

Subject: [Samba] W2k clients wont' join samba domain

   

Dear list,

for days and weeks, now, I am fighting to add our W2k clients to our
domain. The previously NT4 server was replaced by Samba 2.2.2, and
this is a list of what I tried so far:

 - re-create machine accounts
 - enable plain passwords in w2k registry
 - enter domain suffix string
 - vary IP and name of clients
 - add NT ACL = NO to [GLOBAL} section on smb.conf
...

Sometimes I seemingly succeed, i.e. joining the domain results in a 5
minute pause and then a message "welcome to the domain". But when I
try to enter username/password after a reboot, I always get the same
message (machine account does not exist or account not valid).

I am very grateful for any suggestions
cheers
Ralf

is this saying, that below (as 2.2.2) it is not proven that samba 
serves w2k propperly?
