[Samba] Could not find base dn trying to join a machine into the domain
Hi all, Trying to set up a samba PDC with 389-fd LDAP I get and error when I try to join my first windows machine to the domain. I did the smbldap-populate and all seems ok. The point is when I add a machine through command line as: usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "testmaschine4" I don't get any error, below I can demonstrate it: #getent passwd |grep 515 testmachine$:*:5001:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false testmaschine2$:*:5002:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false But the problem occurs when through the windowsXP box I try to join to the domain. I type my Administrator user with his password but then I get an error dialogue which says: "The user name could not be found" When I try to find out more info in the administrator.log on samba server I can see these lines: check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [Administrator] -> [Administrator] -> [Administrator] succeeded Returning domain sid for domain XXXXX -> S-1-5-21-2019295574-2912910430-xxxxxx Could not find base dn, to get next uidNumber at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/smbldap_tools.pm line 1181 _samr_create_user: Running the command `/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "vmwinxpbox$"' gave 2 I don't understand why smbldap-useradd is able to add that machine through command line but it is not able through windows box Useful info: smbldap-populate file: suffix="o=company,dc=lan" computersdn="ou=machines,${suffix}" sambaUnixIdPooldn="sambadomainname=domainname,ou=domains,o=company,dc=lan" defaultComputerGid="515" smb.cnf: ldap suffix = dc=lan ldap machine suffix = ou=machines,o=company add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" Thank you in advance. any advice will be grateful :)

I think you should mention 'root' as username and password should be which you put while running 'smbldap-populate'. You can change 'root' password using root# smbpasswd root command Thanks On 12/30/10, sisu . <npillao at hotmail.com> wrote:> > Hi all, > > Trying to set up a samba PDC with 389-fd LDAP I get and error when I try to > join my first windows machine to the domain. > I did the smbldap-populate and all seems ok.
