Hi ml, I got a weird problem using smb server as pdc for a M$ lan... In this lan I have several W2K (SP3) / XP (SP1) workstations and a couple of Win98. Win98 machines are working fine since they just authenticate on the domain... W2K ones give some more headaches....even if I followed step by step the most recent PDC howtos and faq as long as the smb pdf manual (btw I'm using smb release 2.2.5) I cannot join the machine to the domain neither automatically nor manually. If I try to create the machine trust account by shell (via adduser) on the server and then try to modify the network id of the win2k pc but I got an error more or less like this: "remote procedure malfunction" * If I try to create the trust automatically I got 2 behaviors: 1) if use the root user to authenticate and force the join I got a "unknown user or bad password" * 2) if I try to use Administrator user I got: "This's a machine account. Use the remote / local user account to perform this operation" *
Any hints? Maybe I have to modify something on the W2K worstations? * NB I suppose these are the english messages... I'm using a W2K italian release bye by(t)e[S]...TuX! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
