If you hit 'reply to all' it will also reply to the samba list. Every reply I have hit, I have added the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the address because you seem to only want to reply to me. Thus, you would be asking Samba things to the samba list if you would only include the samba list in your replies. --- > Second is the domain names are different.

If the domain names are different, then your usage of the term migrate in your original email was misleading and I'm sorry it took me 4 emails to get this information out of you. Evidently, the method you are using to 'join' the domain with the computer isn't functioning properly. Are you putting the computer accounts in the 'People' container? Is root a samba member? Do you use the Win2K/WinXP wizard to join the domain?
