Thanks Dale,
This makes a lot of sense...
The Windows 2003 Domain controller is a cluster. Made up of
node1.domain.local and node2.domain.local. The cluster itself is
cluster.domain.local
Being clever I set things to use cluster.domain.local thinking that if
either node failed it would be mostly transparent to Samba. Perhaps this
was a bad assumption on my part.
Shown below is the first part of my smb.conf file. data2 is in DNS and
resolves fully.
Based on the link you provided I'd suspect password server should be set
to * or cluster (as the NetBIOS name) or a specific node...

# global options needed by samba to communicate with
# Windows 2003 Active Directory
realm = DOMAIN.LOCAL
netbios name = data2
workgroup=DLL
password server = cluster.domain.local
security = ADS
encrypt passwords = yes
os level = 1
Shawn,
See if the following has any bearing on your situation:

If not, you may want to post your smb.conf.

Hi All,
I have configured Samba 3.0.23 to work with Active Directory. Based on
all the tests shown here:
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html#adssdm
Things are working as expected.
Most machines and users are working as expected.
I do have some Windows machines on another subnet, NOT joined to the
domain that are giving me grief. Going to
Start-Run-\\ip.of.samba.server I get the following error: The format
for
the computer name is invalid
I can ping the samba server without problems.
Reviewing the Samba logs I see:
pam auth crap domain messages in winbind.log
In the machine.log file I see:
