SAMBA PDC in a clustered Environment

[ww m-pubsyssamba]

Interesting problem

I noticed this problem on ms technet, probably doesn't apply to you 

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;296594

but does mention the use of 

"c:\winnt\cluster>clussvc -resetquorumlog" 

Which I beleive resolves any configuration conflicts on the quorum drive, these might be the result of
changing the service account in a pre-existing cluster?

You are using an account for running the cluster service on the samba PDC, and then specifying it as the logon account for
the service aren't you?

thanks Andy.




No, they are not binding to each other.  It's just that when the one 
node binds to the Samba PDC, the other one can't start the cluster 
service.  Both join the domain successfully though.  As if there's 
something extra transferred in case of when a Windose is the PDC.  The 
log on the cluster says:
