[Samba] Automating Joining a Domain

I recommend that you run the latest version of Samba, 2.2.4 I think, if you have windows XP machines to add to the domain.

You'll want to add the following line to your smb.conf file in the [globals] section:

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /dev/false -M %u

That will allow the machine to automatically create it's own machine account on the samba server.

You also need to set Domain Logons = yes in the globals section as well.  I'd set the os level to 33.
