[Samba] Domain account

[Greg Dickie]

Hi Dede,

  Just to confirm. You are logged onto the workstation as local administrator 
(or a local account with admin privileges) correct? Then you try to join the 
domain and when it asks you for the username & password you use root and the 
root password yes? Have you added the root user in your samba password 
database with smbpasswd?

 This usually works pretty easily and I don't understand why you would get 
that error.

Greg
