Hey All: I've got a working samba/ldap domain with a PDC in a datacenter and a BDC in my local office.
I'm not able to reliably join a windows XP Pro machine to the domain by specifying the PDC as a wins server. I get the following error 90% of the time or more, with no discernible patterns or errors in any logs: --------------------------------- The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "FOO": Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. --------------------------------- Windows 2000 machines join the domain 100% of the time. Adding a line to the lmhosts file like this: --------------------------- 1.2.3.4 foopdc #PRE #DOM:FOO #net group's DC --------------------------- Causes the XP machine to be able to join the domain 100% of the time. I have many clients, and adding this file to the lmhosts file everywhere isn't feasible. The real question is - why doesn't WINS work? I can run net view and see all the machines.. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide. -Marshall -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
