I have no trouble joining the domain in our main office(samba PDC) or a branch office(samba BDC) but for some reason I can't join the domain at the branch office 2(also samba BDC) All three offices are running 3.0.11 and the 2 branch offices have identical configurations, aside from ip address'. The message I get from Windows XP is: The following error occured attempting to join the domain "strozllc" The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted. I was able to join a linux machine to the domain by doing: net rpc join -U administrator -S FQDN.OF.PDC Is there a windows registry entry where I can put the FQDN of the PDC or is there something else I should try? -- David Sonenberg Systems / Network Administrator Stroz Friedberg, LLC 15 Maiden Lane 15th Floor New York, NY 10038 Tel 212.981.6527 Fax 917.495.4918 This message is for the named person's use only.
