We run a number of RHEL 4.8 and RHEL 5.4 Samba fileservers that are attached to 
a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. Everything was running fine 
until a Windows Server 2008 domain controller was added into the domain. As 
soon as the Server 2008 DC was added, none of our Windows and Mac OS X clients 
could connect to Samba shares hosted by our RHEL servers. The Samba servers 
were logging "FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD" errors. Windows 
clients experienced "No process is on the other end of the pipe" errors when 
attempting to connect to Samba servers.

While troubleshooting I ran the following commands and received all the wrong 
answers:
#net ads testjoin
Join to domain is not valid: Improperly formed account name
#wbinfo -m
Could not list trusted domains
#wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
error code was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc0000022)
Could not check secret
#wbinfo --sequence
CAMPUS : DISCONNECTED

As soon as the Server 2008 DC was removed from the domain, all the problems 
went away. The AD forest administrator wants to eventually replace all the 
Server 2003 DC's with Server 2008 DC's. Is there some way that Server 2008 
Active Directory DC's and our Samba servers can be configured to play nice 
together? We're running the latest Red Hat Samba v 3.0.33-0.18.el4_8.1 and 
v3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 packages. I'd really prefer to stick to the Red Hat rpm's 
rather than compile from source. Any thoughts or suggestions on this topic 
would be greatly appreciated. The output of testparm on our Samba servers 
typically looks like this:

workgroup = DOMAIN
realm = DOMAIN.FOREST.EXAMPLE.COM
server string = SAMBA_SERVER
security = ADS
password server = *
lanman auth = No
use kerberos keytab = Yes
log level = 5
log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd
max log size = 50
server signing = auto
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = No
domain master = No
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 10000-30000000
idmap gid = 10000-30000000
template shell = /bin/false
winbind use default domain = Yes
winbind refresh tickets = Yes
