NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

[Laurent BRIERE]

I've tried to delete the machine account via "server manager" and
synchronize the domain. After this, my server has joined the domain !!
Thanks a lot.

But now, i've another problem : 

When (with Win 98 or NT 4 SP3) i attempt to connect to a share, Windows ask
me for a password, but after i wrote my password,  i've got a message
"Incorrect password"

When i look to my log (in samba's log), i've got a message : Cannot found
the file /etc/samba/TOTO.serveur1.mac but the file exist in the good
directory.

Well, "join" is a little ambiguous.  It doesn't really ever "add a machine"
to the domain, which is why you had to create a machine account via Server
Manager.  It simply tries to change the machine account's trust password.
I believe (and I'm not sure here) that it can do this because machine
accounts created by hand will have a known trust password initially.
Thus it would seem that perhaps the machine account you created for the
Samba server no longer has this "changeable" trust password.  Try deleting
the machine account in Server Manager, recreate one, and then try the
"smbpasswd -j" again.

It is distributed, as are many other helpful documents, in the Samba
source code.  samba.org has a mirrors list, but one closer to you
is a German mirror (not all mirrors include the source, including the
France mirror):
ftp://de.samba.org/pub/mirror/samba.org/docs/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt
