Hi, I have Samba running on FreeBSD as the PDC. I have added an XP PC to the domain successfully but on trying to log onto windows using a domain account, I get the following error: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later" Any help on how to solve this? Thanks, Eric
Below is an extract from my smb.conf file. If you need any more
information, just ask for it.
[global]
workgroup = ES
server string = ES Domain Server
hosts allow = 169.254.0., 127.
load printers = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 169.254.0.1/24
local master = yes
os level = 35
time server = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
add user script = /usr/sbin/pw useradd -s /sbin/nologin -c "Machine
Account" -g machines -d /dev/null -n %u
admin users = root
wins support = yes
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = no
log level = 3
domain admin group = user1 user2
logon drive = H:
logon path = ""

What i forgot to say is that there are 5 other XP pcs on the same domain and they are not experiencing such problems. Additional info about the problem is: 1. When i log onto the pc using a local pc account(such as administrator),I can browse the PDC and even mount one of its shares as a network drive. 2. THere is nothing weird in the logs on the PDC Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. THe problem has been solved. It was something to do with the Microsoft Management Console Local Security Settings on the client.
