Hi, I've configured Samba 3.0.4 with Openldap 2.1.22 to use my samba server as a PDC. At first, I had some problem with the user administrator. I've then found the workaround a few days ago. Now that this is fixed, I'm trying to join a XP Pro workstation to my domain. I've done multiple test and never succeeded. I'm always getting XP Pro to complain about not being able to find a domain and talking about a SRV entry in my DNS (which is dynamic as required when using dhcp at the same time).
So, this morning, in a desesperate attempt, I changed security = ads to security = domain and retry to join the domain from XP Pro. To my surprise, it worked fine. I've reread the documentation and it's still saying that we should use security = domain when our server is acting as a BDC, not a PDC. I still have to do more test tonight to see if everything is working but right now, I'm more curious to understand why my samba server (which is now acting as a BDC) is accepting a join request while it's not when it's acting as a PDC. Is that normal? Should I keep my server in security = domain mode? Thank you.
