In setting up a Samba to serve as a PDC, where do I set the "Domain" name? I checked a lot of document and just can't find this!
This is all in http://at.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html and an example is in http://at.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2517482
Basically the domain name is set via the "workgroup = NAME" directive in your smb.conf.
I suggest to read the document linked above as well as http://at.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html which is equally important.

Hi Andreas,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I read that doc before and have read it again. I believe I made a little progress, but not enough. Now, in joining my W2k Pro client to the "domain", I get this error message:
"The following error occured attempting to join the domain "SAMBA": "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
The user "clement" and the machine user "clement$" were both manually created. The log.smbd also showed the password was authenticated. Do you have any suggestion about the trouble?
The log.smbd is quite large. I can produce it if needed. Here is the smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global] security = user
; status = yes
; This is the Domain name
workgroup = SAMBA ; wins server = { ip of a wins server if you have one }encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons =yes
logon script = scripts\%U.bat
; domain admin group = @admin
add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g smbmachine -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %m$
guest account = smbguest
share modes=no
os level=65
log level=10
passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
[homes] guest ok = no read only = no create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 ; oplocks = false ; locking = no
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
writeable = no
guest ok = no
[profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700

Clement
