[Samba] make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

[Willem Jaap Zwart]

Hi

We ran into exactly the same problem (although the AD is from W2K),
but didn't find a solution yet.
I've increased the logging from Samba to pinpoint the problem and it
appears that the AD simply does not reply to a request to authenticate
the Domain Admin. We are now working on the diagnostic output of the
Directory Service on the Micro$oft server to see what's happening over
there (ref to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314980&sd=tech)
.

Not much of a help yet, so anyone who has some ideas or pointers??
