similar to: "Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network" error on XP Pro SP2 clients for Samba 3.0.23d PDC

I am interested in creating a logon message to be delivered to users when they logon. Is this possible? And if so, how can this be done? With logon scripts? The majority of my clients are connecting from Windows XP Pro, SAMBA is running on Debian Etch. Thank You

Hallo! I am running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11 on centOS. I want to enable the automatic printer download feature, but are running into problems. I have tried to work it out from samba by example, but since the automatic driver download is bundeled togehter with ldap (which I am not using), this does not get me anywhere. Can anyone direct me to a good howto on this - one that will make things work! I

Hi, I still have my problem that my samba PDC doesnt want to accept winbind queries. wbinfo -u or -g or -t does only generate errors. the logfiles show a blissfull silence. who has a working PDC with winbind in samba?

Hi We're currently experiencing some problems that wasn't a problem in 3.0.4. Since SP2 was installed printers get connected \\<ipaddress>\<printer-name> instead of \\<netbios-name>\<printer-name>. It's more common on SP2 machines but it happens on non-SP2 machines. Although these issues are not consistent. Which some windows applications seems to have a

Dear all, The other day I was reading this post [1] that slightly surprised me: "To reject the null of no correlation, an hypothsis test based on the normal distribution. If normality is not the base assumption your working from then p-values, significance tests and conf. intervals dont mean much (the value of the coefficient is not reliable) " (BOB SAMOHYL). To me this implied that in

Hi, I set up a Samba PDC/BDC configuration some time ago using LDAP as configured here - http://www.atlanticlinux.ie/blog/?p=25 The configuration has been working without problems for a few months now but we have noticed one issue. When users take their laptop from the network the PDC is serving to the networking the BDC is serving - they sometimes have problems logging in. A dig through

I have a file testing program that creates, writes and indexes a file on the server from the Windows client. On xpp sp1 the program takes 7 sec to write file and 8 sec to read the indexed file. After telling the Firewall to go away I can get the following numbers from xpp sp2; 29..30..45 (tested multiple times) sec to write the file and 7..8 sec to read the file. Any ideas on why the

Hi all, I've got few NetBIOS aliases for samba server, one for each user's group: group1svr, group2svr and so on. Samba server is also domain master for my domain.

I've created following directories in /etc/samba

Hello everyone, I have foolishly installed SP2 on a XP Pro laptop and now I can't print to samba printers anymore. I have upgraded to samba 3.0.7 on my server but it still doesn't work. I see they have patched the 2.2.11 version for something that looks like my issue, but nothing for 3.0.7. I attempted to downgrade my server to 2.2.11, but let's just say that didn't go well.

I am running Samba 3.0.7 on Gentoo Linux. The server is configured for domain logins and roaming profiles, and there are about 40 Windows XP Pro SP2 clients that login to the domain. This has been setup and working perfectly since October, until this morning. Now, anytime a client tries to login, they get this error: "windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain

I've been experimenting with Samba a bit. I won't claim to know a whole lot about it, because I don't, and I'm even somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Linux/UNIX. But I've been working with the worked examples that the HOW TO docs describe on the website, configuring my smb.conf file as is stated. I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-2 on Fedora Core 4, and I'm running into a

Hello, I have just performed a yum update on my Fedora 5 machine, which I think included a samba update, and I cannot connect from WinXP to the shares defined on Fedora. When I select the samba server from WIndowsXP, a dialog box prompts for the userid and password. When userid and password are entered the dialog box just redisplays and I am not logged on, no matter how many time I try. I

I have been running our companies XP Pro systems on our Samba domain controller (version: 3.0.10-1.4E) with local administrative rights up to this point. Everything has worked fine. We are getting larger now and I'd like to make the logins locally restricted (I want them to have XP's "Users" rights and "Remote Desktop Users" only). When I restrict the accounts

I've having trouble getting XP SP2's to join a domain. Whenever I try to join, at the point I'm asked for a user name and password with permission to join the domain, I enter root and root's password, then get the dreaded "Unknown user or bad password" error message. The clients are a mixed bunch with some 98's, 1 Win2K, a few XP SP1 (I know, I know!, but
