Hi all, I am doing some research on Samba+OpenLDAP (+DHCP+DNS) with the intention of getting rid of the Micro$oft licenses necessary to maintain the Server products from such company. One of the aims I have is to demonstrate other people in my company that an open source alternative can work as well as (or even better than) a propietary solution. At the moment, I am getting desperated trying to

Hi guys, I'm experiencing seemingly random problems using roaming profiles with Samba 3.0.2 on Debian Woody and clients being Win XP Pro and Win2K (all of them running the latest service packs and critical updates and so forth). Sometimes when one of the machines tires to login the server profile can't be found. The error Windows comes up with is "Network name cannot be found."

Hello, I just configured a computer on my local network to work as a PDC with Samba, although I'm not able to join the Domain from the windows computer I want to add. I though it was that the server was unreachable, but I can ping the server from the computer and viceversa. If someone please can help me, I'll appreciate it. The smb.conf file is here: ------------------- [global]

When I type the user name and password to logon onto our network (samba is the pdc) it takes a long time to login. How can I go about speeding this up? Is it a Win Xp issue or do I need to tweak samba? Also, when I login in to an XP machine I get a script (looks like some sort of logon script) that shows up in notepad on the desktop and stays there until I close it. What is this and how can I

Hi, i have a lot of win XP clients with SP2 preinstalled and when i try to join to samba PDC i get an error: [...] user unknown or incorrect password.

I have a samba server setup as a PDC and a LDAP back-end. When I try to join the domain I receive a "Permission Denied" error. From the best of my knowledge it appears that the problem is the authentication for the administrator being able to join a Workstation to the Domain. The administrator is set up in the "Domain Admins" group (512) and the group is mapped to the root
