I have no trouble joining the domain in our main office(samba PDC) or a
branch office(samba BDC) but for some reason I can't join the domain at
the branch office 2(also samba BDC)  All three offices are running
3.0.11 and the 2 branch offices have identical configurations, aside
from ip address'.  The message I get from Windows XP is:

The following error occured attempting to join the domain "strozllc"
The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

I was able to join a linux machine to the domain by doing:
net rpc join -U administrator -S FQDN.OF.PDC

Is there a windows registry entry where I can put the FQDN of the PDC or
is there something else I should try?
