[Samba] The behavior of srvmrg.exe with Samba an adding machines

[Michael Liebl]

Hi List,
as discussed earlier, adding machines to a domain works in different ways
i you use srvmrg.exe oder adding while joining the domain.
Read about that here:

So, just to finish this, who is guilty? ;-)

Samba? Has Samba to recheck the flags given from srvmgr.exe and should not
run 'set primary group script'? I mean, Samba knows in any way that the
account is a machine, because Samba sets the "W" attibute.

Comments and discussion suggested. TIA.
