[Samba] WinXP can`t log on Samba PDC

[Mark]

>From the actual reg file itself
This registry key is needed for a Windows XP Client to join and logon to
a Samba domain. 


Keep in mind that if you are using Samba in a workgroup setting, the
patch is not needed. Also the patch is only good for XP Pro....XP does
not support domain logins.

As far as XP timing out or disconnecting, do you mean the actual mapped
drives timeout and lose connection.?? One thing my I have found that
helps eleviate this particular issue is to turn off the web client
service if you do not use it.
Now with XP loginng in with the admin password, I am not sure about this
one. It will probably get fixed in service pack 12 :-). Seriously maybe
some one else knows.

Regards,
Mark

So what does this XP Patch do?


In regards to XP, I have XP Home and Pro laptops that have issues when
talking to samba, they connect, then eventually time out, or disconnect,
upon reconnect, XP tries to log in with administrator or a blank
username.  Its driving me to insomnia because I work third shift, and my
coworkers batty because they keep having to call me during the day.
