similar to: Cannot join windows XP machine to Samba Domain

Hi, I have performed all the steps from John Tepstra's "Samba-3 by Example" 20 April 2005 to Chapter 5, step 21, pg 146. (My goal is to have SAMBA with LDAP and no MS Windows servers.) Everything appears to work properly to this point. When I perform the command: (amd is the name of this test server) net rpc join -S AMD -U root%not24get I get the error: Could not connect to

Hi there, I've been going through the samba 3 by example book and have now successfully replaced my NT 4 PDC with a Linux machine running samba and an LDAP backend. Beautiful. However, I've run into a slight problem. When I try and add a new XP pro machine to my domain, I get the following message: A domain controller for the domain TEST could not be contacted. After doing some

Hi List. I've got SAMBA 3.0.7 with LDAP passwd backend (OpenLDAP 2.2.15) on Solaris 9 box. When joining the domain I have permanent error "The user name could not be found". To add machine I use account "administrator" which is already exist in SAMBA/LDAP with uid=0 and proper password. I have "add machine script" directive in smb.conf file and I see that

When I run backup and send the output to a file on the server, I get a file limitation of 2g. When I do the same backup to a snap server, there is no problem. Is there a size limitation for a single file? Thanks, Steven C. Henry stevench@xnet.com

Hello, I'm trying to set up Samba + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I followed the instructions from chapter 6 in Samba-3 by Example, my system is SuSE 9.1. ldap, winbind, nmb and smb are running. testparm says my smb.conf file is OK. I set LDAP password using smbpasswd -w. There was a similar post a few days ago (smbldap-tools don't create machine account properly), but it didn't help me.

Hello! I'm trying to join a Windows XP (64 bit version) machine to a Samba 3.0.21a domain via smbldap-tools 0.9.1 on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4 and I'm continually getting the message "The user name could not be found." I am attempting to join using members of the Domain Admins group (mapped to Unix group 515), and I'm noticing in the logs (below) that even though the machine

Hi everyone, I know this one has been addressed before. I have had so much trouble getting the IDEALX scripts to work that I set about writing my own and they almost work. The trouble is with the add machine script. The first time I do the join, I get an access denied error message on WinXP. I have verified that an entry for the machine was successfully created in ldap. Then, I try again

Hi, I know this question is FAQ, I set up samba PDF before and still run well, and now I need to create another PDC for another branch office. I have search the MAILLIST and google, but I still can't figure out what happened and how to fix it. I can join into samba PDC but while I sign on Windows Xp and Vista, it will show such like as following "Your user profile was not loaded

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

Tony, I am having pretty much the same issue that you were having with your Samba + Ldap setup it is listed below...did you happen to solve this issue or figure a work around ? Thanks, STEVE Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS

OK I'm confused. Can machines be in ou=Computers,dc=somewhere,dc=net ? Every thing works fine if I configure so that machine accounts are created under ou=Users. If configured for machines to be in ou=Computers, I can't add a new machine. Error returned is "The user name could not be found." This is from the w2k machine itself. The release notes for 3.0.11 seem to say adding

Hi there, this is my config, I have a CentOS 5.3 x86_64 full updated with Xen enabled with Samba 3.5.4 sernet RPMs. I have a virtual machine running Windows 2008 R2 Foundation running full virtualized on the same machine.

I'm trying to join a Windows PC to a domain. I've got a root user set-up to add machines to the domain. When prompted by windows, I enter in root and the password. But I get a windows error dialog, indicating a user was not found. However, in the samba log file for the machine I'm trying to connect to the domain, I can see that the root user was found in ldap, however, for some

I cannot join any windows clients to my samba 3 pdc. I am seeing these logs in my samba log.machinename when I am attempting to join it to the domain. I am using an OpenLDAP backend hosted on the pdc. I can su, or ssh into the pdc with ldap only accounts without problem.

I recently upgraded my samba pdc from version 3.0.9 to version 3.0.21b to try and fix a browse issue with Windows 2003 Server and linux samba servers. The browse issue was fixed, but now I am having problems adding machines to the network. I run slackware 10.0 linux with an openldap backend which has worked fine until now. I also upgraded the samba tools from idealx.org to the latest

After, oh, six months of attempts here and there to read everyone's experiences with Samba/LDAP and inability for a windows 2000/XP machine to join the domain, I finally discovered what was not working properly. In my smb.conf I put: add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" As instructed by many How-to's and Idealx. However, I thought to myself, %m
