Did you join the win7 client to the samba3 domain using smbpasswd -m. Did you set the registry hacks on the win 7 client. Sometimes the win 7 machines need to set the wins server to your Samba/pdc and netbios enabled.

Now I'm getting active directory domain controller could not be contacted. I have renamed my win7 PC as pjl-win7 and restarted PC, server and router to ensure all match I also changed the workgroup in Samba from Glendiscovery to glendisc, my PC is still on the windows workgroup and can access the shares. There is also an XP machine, computer1 on 'workgroup', once I've fixed the win7 problem, I'll be checking it can also join the domain. browse.dat has: "GLENDISC" c0001000 "CENTOS55" "GLENDISC" "CENTOS55" 408c9a23 "Samba Server Version 3.6.6-0.129.el5" "GLENDISC" "WORKGROUP" c0001000 "COMPUTER1" "WORKGROUP" "GLENDISCOVERY" c0001000 "PJL-WIN7" "GLENDISCOVERY" I was recommended to add some lines to smb.conf, so it now has [root@centos55 samba]# cat smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2013/02/17 23:16:46 [global] lanman auth = yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 obey pam restrictions = Yes client ntlmv2 auth = yes logon drive = z: ntlm auth = Yes domain master = Yes idmap config * : range = time server = Yes wins proxy = No passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u wins support = true netbios name = centos55 cups options = raw server string = Samba Server Version %v password server = none logon script = scripts\%U.bat unix password sync = Yes idmap config * : backend = tdb workgroup = GLENDISC logon path = os level = 64 auto services = global printcap name = cups preferred master = yes max log size = 50 pam password change = Yes [homes] valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] comment = netlogon path = /datastore/netlogon valid users = @adm, @users read only = No [company] comment = company share path = /datastore/company valid users = @adm, @users force group = users read only = No create mask = 0775 force create mode = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 inherit permissions = Yes use sendfile = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes print ok = Yes browseable = No On 17 February 2013 23:47, Thomas Simmons <twsn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have you made the necessary registry changes on the Win7 workstation > (see link)?
