[Samba] Can't add a Win XP Pro SP 2 workstation to domain
We are running Mac OS X Server v. 10.4.2, which comes packaged with Samba 3. The problem I am running into is that when I attempt to add a workstation running Windows XP Service Pack 2 to the domain, it won't add the workstation. I can see that the machine account was added to SMB (in Mac OS X, this is listed under Computer Account in Workgroup Manager), but after I add the machine and then attempt to add the user (which is already entered in the OS X database), I get the following error message. The user could not be added because the following error occured: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed I understand from researching on the web that in the previous version of Samba (2.2), there were some workarounds you had to do to get a Windows XP machine to join a Samba domain, but my reading suggests that these workarounds are not to be used for Samba 3. Can someone enlighten me as to how to get around this problem? I would be extremely appreciative. -- Greg Lentz Technlogy Systems Manager Marin Academy (415) 453-3616 X234

Installing Samba 3.0 from Samba.org is the only suggestion I have, other than bugging Apple directly. (And because we don't have a build farm machine on OSX, I don't know if current Samba.org releases work either, but we can work on that).
