Not related to joining W2K clients to a domain but the "net" command
refuses to work if there is a problem in smb.conf. Even if you run
testparm and nothing is wrong. I don't kno if it's the order or
whitespaces that causes it to not work.
I"ve had to swap out smb.conf several times because I couldn't find the
problem why the "net" command wouldn't run.
I'm still trying to get Win2k clients to join a domain.
from:

Joining workstations (NT, W2K, XP) to the Samba domain
Basically you need cover these steps to add (join) a windows NT/W2K/XP
to the domain:
in the PDC samba server create an account for the machine
one entry in the /etc/passwd or equivalent (nsswitch...)
for the machine_name$-ended
one basic entry in the ldap previous to call to the
smbpasswd
one full entry in the ldapwithsmbpasswd -a -m
<machine_name>$
in the MS workstation, if is a XP or W2K you need set in the
registry: SignOrSeal to "0"
in the MS workstation you need join to the domain ASAP via:
NT
control pannel-> Network
|Identification |
Domain/Change domain
W2K/XP
myPC-> System
properties|Computer name|
Domain/Change domain
I manually created an account in /etc/passwd <computer name>$
I'm using:
add machine script = /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a -m %u
in smb.conf to create ldap account.
The user I am logging in as in LDAP to create account is:
uid=Administrator uidNumber=0 sambaSID=S-1...-1000
sambaPrimaryGroupSID=S-1...-512
I can connect as user Administrator get to home directory but can't add
machine account. I get bad passwd or unknown username.
Please help!
