High friends, is there nobody who could help me? I ask yesterday, but I will try it now again: I've a samba-3.0.5 installation, and I try to join a Windows 2000 PDC in a real ADS environment. I joined successfully the PDC with: # net rpc join -U Administrator Password: Joined domain NEURO After that I tried to list the sam: # net rpc samdump [2004/09/01 16:58:28 , 0] utils/net_rpc_samsync.c:rpc_samdump_internals(222) Error connecting to NETLOGON pipe Whith the samdump-command I got the error-message above. Is it, because it is a real ADS environment (Only Win2000-Servers are present in this network), or is there anything that I did wrong? Is there anybody who could help me? Friendly greetings from Germany. Heinz
