It is way too late to be wrestling with this, but being the obsessive compulsive I am..... I can not get an XP machine to join a samba-ldap domain The machine account has been made The XP registry and local policies have been set I continue to get 'specified domain does not exist' I have gone in circles nad can't figure a thing out! If anyone is out there right now (3:49 CST) and can help me, I can definately work out some compensation!
Hi, Probably, you've to change the local policies. You can find information about here : http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/ See you, Rapha?l On Fri, 2003-05-16 at 10:52, Chris McKeever wrote:> It is way too late to be wrestling with this, but being the obsessive > compulsive I am..... > > I can not get an XP machine to join a samba-ldap domain > > The machine account has been made > The XP registry and local policies have been set > > I continue to get 'specified domain does not exist' > > I have gone in circles nad can't figure a thing out! > > If anyone is out there right now (3:49 CST) and can help me, I can > definately work out some compensation!-- Raphael Berghmans <raphael@arafox.com>

I suspect the former. Change the workgroup name to anything that is different from your domain name, apply, and then join the domain. (this problem is not samba-specific BTW).

> I continue to get 'specified domain does not exist'Were you able to join clients *other than* Windows XP? I had a similar symptom, but I got the same result with a Windows 2000 client. The problem appeared to be Samba. I was using a SuSE SLES-8 samba-2.2.5-60.s390.rpm. I got the SP2 upgrade CD which has the RPM samba-2.2.5-78.s390.rpm (which has a lot of 2.2.8 code back ported). I sparked Samba back up and joining the domain worked fine. This may be an s390 thing, but if you're not up to the latest Samba this might be a good excuse to upgrade. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM mikemac at us.ibm.com (845) 433-7061
No, we only have a sparse handle fun of machines, and that was the first I tried. I gave up... I will recovene again this evening, with a somewhat different battle plan. I think there was some crazy cross-subnet crap going on affecting me.... I thought I had it once, it said welcome, but then wouldnt let me log back in after a reboot.> -----Original Message----- > From: Michael MacIsaac [mailto:mikemac@us.ibm.com] > Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 8:09 AM > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: Re: [Samba] XP Joining Samba Domain - Cry For Help > > > > > > > > I continue to get 'specified domain does not exist' > > Were you able to join clients *other than* Windows XP?
