[Samba] Trouble joining domain at BDC site [SOLVED]

[David Sonenberg]

Just to follow up.  Mr. Terpstra was nice enough to help me on the
phone.  The problem was that the office with the problem did not have a
wins server defined.  Once I updated the dhcpd.conf to publish the win
server address everthing worked fine.  Thanks John.
