hi all sambians A bit of a puzzle my samba turned into, I hope you can help. I've had 3.6.x for many years and many Win 7 (also XP in old days) clients until last Sunday (I think) when I updated samba. Just two win7 I get infamous = trust relationship between this workstation ... There rest of win7s are fine. Nothing really changed in terms of configurations, not on the server nor on the clients. I've removed failing clients and then rejoined yet! I still get the error and cannot login to the_domain\user. Only two thing I can see may differentiate these two from the rest. Both these two clients are on a subnet different from the rest that works fine. Second thing is both have not had windows updates installed in quite a long time. But the subnet itself seems fine, for if I login to local\user I get name resolution via wins and I was able to rejoin these clients, as said earlier. In samba log I see: [2016/04/25 14:31:18.688902, 0] rpc_server/netlogon/srv_netlog_nt.c:976(_netr_ServerAuthenticate3) _netr_ServerAuthenticate3: netlogon_creds_server_check failed.
