"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done."

[Jade E. Deane]

Perhaps the list has read my previous email regarding an win2k issue I'm
having.
I'm at the point now when I try and add the machine to the domain, I either
receive "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done" or "The
remote procedure call failed".

Ideas?

Well I'll be damned, I got it to work.  I don't know what was causing that
error, but I changed the name of the workgroup the win2k box was in (it was
the same as the samba domain before) and then tried and it worked.

Good luck to the rest of you!
