[Samba] Unable to join samba server to a NT4 style domain

[Ashutosh Kamdar]

Hello,

Is there any way to see the logs of what happens when you issue a net join rpc <domain-name> command?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ash

-Try adding the Samba server to the NT4 Domain first.
-
-Is the NT4 server also a WINS server?
-If so, add that info to the smb.conf
-
-wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast
-
-Put the NT4 server info into /etc/lmhosts
-and /etc/hosts
-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	NT4SERVER
-
-restart Samba and see if you can join
-the domain now.
-
-Hope this helps,
-  Jim
