I've set up NT domains from scratch and things work. However, in this case I vampired the old settings over to my new Samba PDC from a W2K server which I then removed from the network. Everything almost works, except ... The main thing is that I can't seem to change the domain passwords from the XP Pro workstations. Normally you do Ctrl-Alt-Del and select change password, then fill in the blanks. However, when I try, I get a long wait - about 5 minutes - then "the system cannot change your password now because the domain RAHIM-DALE is unavailable" (where RAHIM-DALE is my domain name). This happens on whatever XP Pro workstation I try. I've even tried removing a domain account and recreating it, but the same thing happens. Any ideas anyone?
