Win2k, joining domain

[Kat]

I am starting to see a pattern and not sure if this will
help but....

I have been playing with W2K and samba 2.2 for a little while
as some may have seen my posts.  The more I hear I problems
the more I started experimenting and today I think I have
proven this... I hope.

Any W2K system with SP1 (or any of the hot fixes) seems to have
random errors joining samba domains. I have NEVER had a problem
with a vanilla w2k INSTALL and having it join the domain during
the install.  The only machines I have problems with, and it varies,
are those with service packs (recent) or hot-fixes -- (still trying
to narrow down exactly which hot fix).

I just spent the last 12 hours playing with 4 W2K machines, installing,
re-installing updating, and joining the domain at different times
and have come to the same conclusion. Remove any SP's or hot-fixes,
join the domain, then re-apply the fixes.  The thing is too, once the hot
fixes/SPs are applied AFTER the machine is in the domain, not a single
problem since...

If I can narrow this down more, I will let you know. Bottom line, I can dup
every error message that has been posted here pretty easily and
with predicted results.
