I have bought SuSE Enterprise Server 10 from Novell. I have configured LDAP & Samba as PDC for my local LAN. Now when I try to join my Windows clients machines using the Administrator as username, I get the error " user not found". Infact, when I see the LDAP database, the machine account is added. But still the clients do net get added to the Domain. Now If I add Suse Desktop Linux or Xandros machines, I get the error"unable to join Domain". I see the "/var/log/messages" depicting following errors: Oct 30 15:46:26 sapphire smbd[14773]: [2006/10/30 15:46:26, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(242) Oct 30 15:46:26 sapphire smbd[14773]: get_md4pw: Workstation XANQROK4K9$: no account in domain Oct 30 15:46:26 sapphire smbd[14773]: [2006/10/30 15:46:26, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:_net_auth_2(461) Oct 30 15:46:26 sapphire smbd[14773]: _net_auth2: failed to get machine password for account XAN$ : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Kindly help me in this regard. I'm using the latest samba-3.0.23c-0.1.36 version in SLES-10.
