I am a SAMBA newbie, although I have spent many days perusing the newgroups and web for information before I posted my problem. I appreciate any time you put into helping me out. Here's my situation: I can log on to the domain with my WinXP non-SP1 machine, works just fine, no problems at all. However, if I try to use either of my SP1 machines, here is what I get: Windows cannot connect to the domain, either becuse the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for assistance. I have done the following: 1) Applied the requiresignorseal registry patch to both machines 2) Used gpedit.msc to enable the setting to ignore profile directories not owned by user At this point, I am at a loss. I do have another problem that may or may not be related. If I try to view another machines shares other than the PDC shares, I get a message stating that I cannot access the network resource because "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed". Attached is my config. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated! -- Nolan Garrett [global] logon script = %U.bat log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd load printers = yes passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password * %n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *p asswd: *all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 admin users = root chrisg alyssag rickg nolan danielleg logon drive = H: domain master = yes encrypt passwords = yes hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u logon home = \\main\%U\.profile wins support = yes dns proxy = no netbios name = main server string = Samba Server %v printing = cups unix password sync = yes logon path = \\main\profiles\%U os level = 99 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u printcap name = lpstat security = user max log size = 50 domain logons = yes domain admin group = @admins [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes write list = root nolan [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles browseable = no guest ok = yes writeable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 map archive = yes map system = yes map hidden = yes ; the three settings below I set one at a time, because I saw ; them being used in others configs that worked... not really sure ; what they do or if they are necessary profile acls = yes nt acl support = yes csc policy = disable [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes read only = yes write list = @adm root [public] comment = Public path = /home/samba/public public = yes writable = no write list = @admins
