Hi guys
I have set up a domain with 2.2.3a... I have followed
the HOTO and everything seems OK. When I try to add a
W2K machine to the Domain (computer account already
manually created) I get the error "the domain
TESTDOMAIN does not exist or could not be contacted"
This client is able to browse the domain as if it was
a workgroup though so connectivity isn't the probelm.
The domain controller has wins support = yes and the
client is using the wins server. so that isn't the
problem.
I have an idea but cannot find it in any docs so
wanted to sound you out...
Do I have to add (join the domain) with the server
(PDC running samba) before it becomes a proper domain?
obviously by deffinition the PDC *HAS* to be a member
of the domain.
any other ideas would be appreciated - smb.conf is
basically the same as in the latest HOWTO from the US
download site.
Many Thanks,
Gary
