Hi All- Please tell me if I'm posting to the wrong list. I looked for the list called samba-ntdom (listed at http://us1.samba.org/samba/archives.html) because it seemed a more appropriate forum, but it looks like that list has been dissolved. Has the discussion for that list moved to some other list? Anyway, here's the problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with: I have

Hi Mathias, I can't speak on Win2k Pro but have recently tested WinXP Pro. Now with XP you will need to use the reg file included with the samba archive (in a sub directory in the docs dir). Once that has been applied (presuming all accounts have already been created on server) you can join the domain and log in no problems. -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Robosson Business Services 22

I have Samba running on my web server (it's not a major file server or anything) so that I can access files on it from my local network. Mainly things like I can view my webalizer pages thru a local machine, or to copy files over for installation. Anyway - every 2-3 hours, I 'lose' the connection and have to reboot the WinXP machine (yeh, I know - 'Rule #1 of Microsoft - When in

I have samba 2.2.7 running on a RedHat Linux 7.3 system that is being used as a PDC and a file server for a group of Windows 2k and Windows XP Pro computers. I am having a problem with the roaming profiles working on both the 2k and XP machines. The profiles seem to load fine when you log on, but when you log off it will only copy the ntuser.dat file and then a few more files (seems to go to

Hi, I had a Samba PDC running on unstable hardware. I migrate everything on a new machine, I transferred all the configuration files (smb.conf, smbpasswd, .), transferred all the users and groups. Everything was working 100% until I had to join a new machine to Domain, WinXP Pro SP2 can't find de Domin Controler, but all the WinXP Pro SP2 that where already in the Domain before the migration

Hi all... looking for some assistance with my first Samba setup. The setup: On a small (five-computer, mixed Win2k and WinXP pro) LAN, I'd like a share on my FreeBSD server to be available for storage. No printing, no PDC, no individual user directories or password protection -- just a big ol' slice of storage for everyone to access equally. I've come close, (the share shows up

Hi everyone, sorry if this is already written somewhere: Is it at all possible to connect a Windows XP (professional ed.) client to a Samba server running 2.2.3? I got this far: After logging into the client locally I can mount the server shares by hand, but the domain logon fails, saying 'The domain controller is not 'availabe' (or similar, this is translated from the german error

Hello, I'm having some problems with the this setting. I'm trying to have a winxp client logon to a samba-2.2.7a machine which is using a win2k server as password server. It works if I use a linux client (smbclient): smbclient -L pandora -U bush%george Pandora is the samba machine, and it contacts the w2k server and validates bush's password. This is working, but only with

I am having trouble with everything *except* joining the client to the domain. WinXP Pro clients join the domain via the Samba-PDC howto, all works well. Trying to browse other domain resources or attempts to logon via the "domain" bring up this error in log.smbd: [2002/03/14 01:14:36, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670) api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall

Greetings. Here's my scenario: 1) I have a linux box running samba 2.2.3a, configured as a PDC. 2) I have a WinXP laptop that attempts to use the printers that are configured on the samba server. NOTE: XP Laptop is NOT, repeat: NOT, in the domain that the samba box controls. The XP boxs is part of a workgroup instead. 3) XP box can see file shares on samba box fine. Just printers, at the

Real quick I have 1 Windows 2000 Pro machine that can connect to my Samba server just fine.....no problems whatsoever.... I have 5 other machines, all running Windows XP Pro (all have been updated with Microsoft's latest patches, etc.) that cannot even access the Samba server. I have only a Workgroup created, and from each of my XP machines, they all see the Samba server just fine in the

Hi!

I tried today to setup WinXP Pro to logon to my Linux Domain Server running RedHat Enterprise 2.1 with samba version 2.2.8a. WinXP is complaining it can not locate the domain server or is unable to authenticate with the server. Everything is working fine for Win9x, Win2k, and WinNT systems. When setting up the XP system it was able to connect and create a system account (jeff-system). Can

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.2 with samba-2.2.1a on a linux machine. I connected the linux machine to a wireless router, which is connected to a hub. I run WinXP Pro PC which is connected to the same hub.

I can actually answer this one. Windows 2000 and higher NO LONGER USES WINS. While 2000 server does still include a WINS server component, 2000 clients no longer (mostly) use them. They now use the active directory DNS for all resolution instead of WINS. I'm a bit out of my element, but I've had my WINS get hosed before, and I never knew until somebody with win98 called and said they
