Thank you very much Eddie for all your help. I succesfully got 2 win2k
machines and an XP machine to join my domain. I did have to do a few minor
adjustments though, so I figured if someone else had this issue they could
share from my experience as well.
First, I had already added accounts for these machines in /etc/passwd and in
the LDAP directory. So I deleted those accounts. After doing your smb.conf
adjustments and adding ou=Computers. I tried to just change the name of the
computer and join the domain. No success. Then I added the computer to
/etc/passwd and tried to rename the computer in order to join the domain.
No success. Finally, I changed the name of the computer but I changed it to
a Workgroup instead of a domain. Rebooted the computer. Then once rebooted
I changed it from workgroup to domain and I got "Welcome to the Domain" and
I received success. I did this for the other win2k machine and XP machine.
using the script in my smb.conf did not add the computer to /etc/passwd. It
did however add the computer to the LDAP tree but only once and in
ou=People. Although, just realizing this now, in my smb.conf I don't have
/usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pm I just have
/home/some_user/samba-2.2.5/examples/.../smbldap-useradd.pm. Might that of
made the difference as to why the computer wasn't added to /etc/passwd?
Anyway, it all works now. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi ?,
I have had the same problem a while ago.
After downloading and installing the smbldap tools, I modified the
smbldap-conf.pm according to my own needs.
Pay special attention to the group (number) parameter for the computers in
the ldap tree and smbldap-conf.pm, and the location of your smbpasswd
program (/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd).
You also need to add the computers group (102 in my case) to the /etc/group
file.
domwks:x:102:
I added the parameter "add user script =
/usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pm -g 102 -w %u" to my smb.conf.
I restarted the smb and nmb services.
After that I was able to succesfully add a win2k/xpclient pc to the domain.
Later I noticed that the client pc was added to /etc/password AND it was
added twice to my ldap tree, one time as a user in the Users tree and also
as a computer in the Computers tree.
This makes sence to me since samba (smbpasswd) needs to find the pc in the
/etc/passwd file but the authentication is also done to the ldap database.
Look for the Softerra ldap browser and Administrator, they are helpfull
tools!
I hope this works for you too?
Greetings,
Eddie.
