Hello all, I have compiled samba 2.2.5 on SCO openserver 5.0.5 as a PDC. My Win9X clients have no problem accessing the shares and all is happy. However, Win2K clients can join the domain, I see the computer/machine account that automatically gets created in the smbpasswd file a-ok. After the win2k client joins the domain, and the client reboots, the client can't log in. I get this error

I am having difficulties running Samba as a PDC for WIN2K Clients. I'm running version 2.2.5 on a RH7.3 box. Win98 is able to access shares just fine, as is win2k if it is just a member of a workgroup, and not a domain. I have tried both the automated process of setting up a machine account, and the manual method. In the automated case, the machine account is automatically created, but the

Quick Summary: I am trying to join some Win2k (Service Pack 4) machines to a NT4 style domain with a Samba PDC. One machine successfully joins the Samba domain. One fails. Current configuration: SambaPDC: - FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE - Samba 2.2.8a (from binary package) Host1 (Silv): - Windows 2000 SP4 (5.00.2195) Host2 (Plaid): - Windows 2000 SP4 (5.00.2195) All machines are

I'm trying to locate the list of registry values to adjust how Win2K clients handle the user profile with the Win2K boxes joined to a Samba PDC and logging in with domain accounts. Specifically I would like to DISABLE roaming profiles!!! Many moons ago, the WarpServer Win2K client from IBM came with very good documentation on how to adjust that client to not create roaming profiles, etc...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but would it then be possible to join a "real" NT4 or Win2k BDC to the Samba domain and establish the trust relation from our other Win2k? Or does the trust relationship have to be "registered" with the entire domain and therefore all the domain controllers? Khanh Tran Network Operations Sarah Lawrence College 1 Mead Way

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the

This weekend I upgraded SAMBA from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3a then made it the PDC on our LAN. Original PDC was an NT4 Server. There is a Win2K Server running Citrix Metaframe-XP, and the old NT4 PDC Server was replaced with another Win2K Server to be the Database Server. I didn't want to bother with setting Win2K up as a DNS and DFS/ADS Server (required for being a PDC), so selected to make SAMBA the

I have set up a Samba PDC with LDAP password backend schema. I found the way of connecting win2k workstations to this Samba server by setting the parameter "workgroup" (in smb.conf) to the name of the domain I created previously in Samba/LDAP. Once in win2k workstations, I changed the identification from workgroup members to domain. But when validating, it asked for any user who

Hi, We have Samba 2.2.6(+2.2.7 security patch) installed on solaris. Samba is used as PDC for WinNT and Win2K clients. The WinNT machines have no problems geting into the domain as machine trust accounts exist in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd file. However, Win2k clients are not able to join the domain. I did go through the documentation, and hence created root account in 'smbpasswd'

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, please keep me in Cc:, I'm not subscribed to the list. I have a windows domain, served by a samba server and including about 50 NT workstations. I'm runing 2.2.3 since a month, without problems. Now I'm trying to add a Win2k server ("windows 2000 familly server", it says) to this domain. I read various docs I found in samba distrib and on the web, but I'm stuck with a

Hi everyone, System info: OS: Suse 9.1 samba: 3.0.2a-51 PDC: win2K My winbind was working well with the win2k PDC. I'm using it to control access to my samba shares and subversion repositories. Then they had to change the win2k's hardware. The hostname, domain name, settings, etc. were retained (so they say). And this broke my authentication. I rejoined the domain using net ads

I am currently running Samba 2.2.4 on a RH 7.1 box acting as a PDC with two Win2k test clients attaching to it. Users authenticate to the PDC via an LDAP server running on the PDC and that works ok. I can also join the domain with no problems. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a domain user or better yet a group of domain users, be able to log into the win2k box and have the linux
