[Samba] Re: Samba 3.0.7 & adding machines. Wrong primary group.

[Igor Belyi]

I have a strange feeling that the clue is in the "server-manager" since 
I don't use it to join domain at all.

I have Debian/unstable x86 Linux 2.6.7 Samba 3.0.7 as a PDC.
Workstation is WinXP Pro SP1.

To join domain I just go into System Properties/Computer Name/Change... 
and put Domain name in the "Member of/Domain:" field. Then I click "Ok", 
put Domain administrator's name and password in popuped "Computer Name 
Changes" window, and click "Ok" again. After getting "Welcome to DOMAIN 
domain." and "You must restart this computer for the changes to take 
effect." popups I reboot and have computer as a domain member.

Do you join domain some other way?
