Hello there - it`s me again :)

Well - now I have managed to get the win2k worksation to join the domain,
but when doing so - i met some problems on the way.

When I spesfy that I shall add the computer named : "NT-THOMAS" to domain:
"DULOKAL002" - the machine says :

"Enter the name and password of an account with permission to join the
domain"

Here I have tried several different usernames, for both trust accounts - and
normal useraccounts. If I try to log in as user "NT-THOMAS$" with password
"nt-thomas" - I get the errormsg:

"The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or
local user account to access this server"

So - I tried to use the "thomas" account in my smbpasswd file. When I do
this, it all works fine - I get the "Welcome to the DULOKAL002 domain" msg,
BUT - yes .. there is a but... only the "administrator" and "thomas" account
in the smbpasswd file works - I have like.. 20 other users - but when I try
to log in with theese ones, it says that there is no contact with the
"DULOKAL002" domain.

Does anyone know what I`m missing here?


Sincerly
Thomas Kolstoe
