Windows 2000 Beta 3 and PDC?

[Philip Mayers]

I get a BSOD sometimes when trying to even *browse* a network with Samba as
a WINS server. Joining the domain will give a reliable BAD_POOL_CALLER. I
suspect Win2k is going to require a lot of work before it works as well as
NT4, simply because MS changed an *awful* lot about the way NT networks
function (namely default authentication not being NTLM and domains being
replaced by AD).

Theoretically a Win2K box should work on an NT4 domain (and therefore Samba
PDC) fine, but it doesn't... Time to get netmon out I guess...

Cheers,
Phil
