Hello, current situation: A XP-pro PC which does a domain login into a Win2003 (active directory) server. I have admin rights on this PC but not for the server. From the XP view the PC is already member of the domain. I want to install a Linux client into a separate partition of this PC for testing purposes. Is it possible to take over the domain login info from the XP partition to allow samba a domain login also ? Which values of the XP registry i have to take over (machine id, etc ...) ? Where to place them (smb.conf) ? Or does it work out of the box ? I have searched the archives on this, but haven't found any appropriate. Maybe i used the wrong keywords for searching. Any hints are welcome. regards Petric

The WinXP must remain active and kept as domain member. A different name is (in my understanding) also not applicable. The IPs are assigned by a DHCP server derived by the network cards MAC address. regards Petric
