[Samba] Adding a Windows 2003 Server to a Samba PDC Domain
Hey, I want to add a brand-new Windows 2003 Server machine to a Domain controlled by a Samba 3.0 PDC. I DON'T want the Windows 2003 Server to be a BDC, a PDC, a WINS server, or anything else; I just want it to be a member of the domain for domain logons. Basically I want it to act more or less as if it were a Windows XP Pro machine. It won't try to do anything stupid like become a PDC or BDC, enable Active Directory, or anything like that by default, will it? Will adding this to the domain be as simple as adding an XP Pro machine? Thanks! - SG
