Hi

Is The above script is used to first add the computer the FDS and then go
the system  and add to the samba  domain.

Not sure if the above script can be mentioned in smb.conf

" add machine script = /tmp/myscripts/addmachine.sh"

But if smbldap-tools are used then machine can be added in fly.

But there is alternative to smbldap-tools also ,

The recent http://fdstools.wiki.sourceforge.net/  which can be used to do
the following
