[Samba] samba 3.0.4 : cannot join domain with w2k clients.

[Tomás Polák]

Hi,
I compared your smb.conf with mine.
I am running Samba 3 PDC with W2K clients very well.

My Samba version is 3.0.2a-1 (using Debian Sarge distribution)

After try to join domain, are there created new user and/or machine accounts
in /etc/smbpasswd?
Do you already have appropriate user account in /etc/passwd ?
When I am joining new computer to domain, I first creating user account on
Linux on both
/etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd places (from console). Next log as
Administrator to W2K and join
domain with Samba "root" username and root's password from
/etc/samba/passwd. This
works well for me.

>From my remote view is seems, that you may try to add "add machine script"
directive
and check writability of your Samba system shares (netlogon, homes).

I this will not be helpful, do not hesitate to contanct me to send you my
whole /etc/smb.conf

And I am using WINS servers in my local network, but PDC was working for me
before
I have them, so they are not mandatory.
