Hi list

I have a query, I have a samba 3.0.21 with openldap, all my windows clients
are joined to PDC.
but suddenly  now , all my windows clients uanble to login
 but when i do getent passwd on the server , i could see all my computer
accounts . even
when i do ldapsearch -x -b "ou=Computers,dc=msdpl,dc=com" , i could
see the
list of computer account names
but my windows clients report error message that " the compter name is
missing from the domain" .
all the systems had to rejoin to the domain. even having the computer
account names in the ldap database.
what could be the problem . Please  guid me

Check that the computer accounts in LDAP have the appropriate Samba
object class and attributes.  (In other words, check that they're not
just POSIX accounts.)

Check that their RIDs are correct.  Under the default setup, I think,
a user account's RID = uid * 2 + 1000.

Try turning up the log level to see if that gives any more information.
