samba - Mar 2010 - Samba / Lucid / Windows 7 problem

Hi list	

I'm running a Samba PDC on Ubuntu Lucid (3.4.7) and am unable to join 
Windows 7 machines to the domain. I have applied the registry changes 
described at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7

Windows XP machines can join with no problems.

Samba log:

stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Use of uninitialized value $pass in chomp at /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd 
line 324.
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Use of uninitialized value $pass2 in chomp at /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd 
line 330.
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Use of uninitialized value $pass in string ne at 
/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd line 334.
Use of uninitialized value $pass2 in string ne at 
/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd line 334.

Windows 7 reports: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Torkil

Are you sure this is a Windows 7 fault?

By the looks of the Samba log smbldap-tools is causing the grief.
Have you confirmed smbldap-useradd is working from the terminal?

You could also try adding the machine account to your LDAP server prior to
joining it to the domain from the desktop.

I agree, as previously,  things had worked fine without the "-i" 
option.  In the interim I had upgraded to Debian 3.4.3.  The error 
message given in the logs led me to this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg75705.html

I tried it and was rewarded with an instant domain join.  The system was 
XP SP3 however, not Win 7.  The OP is at 3.4.7; perhaps circumstances 
have changed again.
