[Samba] Domain account

[Dede NURMANSYAH]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response :)

Yes, I'm logged onto workstation as local administrator and when the system
asked username and password, I put root username and root password.
I've also added root account into samba  password database using smbpasswd
-a root

I don't have any idea about this problem, because I'm sure enough that all
steps I made is correct and it has been my problem since 3 month ago.
And now I'm really give up and little stress. Perhaps anybody could give me
advise.

Regards,
Dede Nurmansyah

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.
