Hello all,
I am trying to add a Windows XP machine to a domain controlled by a Samba 3
server. The problem is, when I try to add it, I get the follownig error:
"Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the follownig error
occured:
The user name could not be found."
I am using the username root and the root samba password. I even changed
root's samba password to make sure I was using the correct one:
speedy# smbpasswd root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
speedy#
Still no luck. Other computers are on the domain and running fine, and in
fact I have previously added new machines to it! I am completely flummoxed
here. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
