The DHCP server was still pointing WINS to an IP address that no longer existed. Fixed that and XP now joins the domain without a hickup. Now to fix a couple other minor user interface issues and I'll be ready to roll out to production (until I run into the next big issue). Thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction to fix my problems, both on and off list. /dwight -- Dwight N.

[Samba] RPC Server is unavailable

This fixed the problem, but is not an acceptable solution for us. I vaguely remember something about issues with DNS/DHCP/Windows, so now I'm off to see what info I can dig up there. If anybody has some pointers it would be greatly appreciated. BTW: For anybody else doing this type of testing with repeatedly trying to join a domain, I highly recommend using VMware. I have both my Samba server and my XP client installed in "virtual" machines with snapshots taken at appropriate places. With this setup I can try various things, then "reset" to the snapshot to get a pristine machine again. Sure beats having to reinstall or figure out what I have to "undo" in the registry. Plus I can be sure that I didn't miss something in some file that I didn't know about. /dwight -- Dwight N.

[Samba] RPC server is unavailable
Hi there, I am working on the trusting relationship between 2 domains with Samba 3 PDC and W2K PDC. When I typed in the trust password on both machines, on my Samba 3, I was prompted for the success output but I've got the following error on verify the trust on my W2K PDC: ""Information from the primary domain controller for the domain cannot be obtained because: The RPC server is unavailable. Make sure that the PDC is operating properly and then try again"" And from my Samba, I've got the following error log: Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]: [2003/10/13 12:51:51, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(115) Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]: connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the NETLOGON credentials to machine myW2kPDC. Error was : NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL.

What's about? Any solution or the link of the solution is greatly appreciated THX Simon -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
