Hi All, I'm trying to migrate our Samba PDC server to a new machine on the local net with a completely new domain, but when I try to join this domain on a Win2k machine it gives error 'invalid domain or can't be located' I have no problem on my mac using DAVE. and i can see the new domain in the browse list. Here is my configuration. Any help would be great.
