[Samba] Centos samba-3x / samba-3.6.6 - win7 will not join domain
Hi
Some advice needed on samba-3.6.6 for win7
Since getting my win7 ultimate pc, I've only used my centos server with
samba for a workgroup connection. Previously I had an XP client on this
domain.
I've updated today (17 feb 2013) to the latest centos5.9 (Linux
2.6.18-348.1.1.el5.centos.plus on i686) which includes samba3x with
samba-3.6.600.129_el5
passdb backend has to be tdbsam now for win7, not smbpasswd
I've tried repeatedly to join the domain without success.
My win7 ultimate machine supposedly has the ability to join a domain
Provided I ensure that nmbd as well as smbd is running, it gives the
username and password login form and then
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain glendisc
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted
Since getting the win7 PC I have been connecting to workgroup
'glendiscovery' by the server IP address, so it has not previously been
on
the domain.
I deliberately changed the name to glendisc to avoid possible issues.
I can still connect to my workgroup shares
I noted that the samba user root had disappeared so I added new user
'root'
and 'plawrie' and enabled them in swat password.
That's presumably for the tdbsam database, instead of smbpasswd
Still no difference.
I have several customers who have introduced win7 machines, so I will have
to get this working before I try it on their business networks.
For reference here is my smb.conf
[root at centos55 ~]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | more
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2013/02/17 19:56:06

Have you made the necessary registry changes on the Win7 workstation (see link)? If properly configured, Win7 works perfectly fine with current versions of Samba 3. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 3:40 PM, peter lawrie < peter.lawrie at glendiscovery.co.uk> wrote:> Hi > Some advice needed on samba-3.6.6 for win7 > Since getting my win7 ultimate pc, I've only used my centos server with > samba for a workgroup connection.
