It didn't work yesterday, today it does...

I have a test setup with a self-compiled 3.0.21a samba
acting as a PDC on a separate network.

I can get a w2k machine to join the domain, by running
the Network ID wizard.

When I did the same with the Vista machine, Windows just
told me that it couldn't find an Active Directory
Domain Controller.

As Samba can't be an AD DC, I feared that it wouldn't be
possible.

All I got in the logfile on the samba server was several
messages like:

[2006/01/10 16:36:36, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(772)
   setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close 
all old resources.


This morning, however, the Wizard ran without problems.

I will reinstall Vista ß2 (1 hours work, 7.3 Gbytes gets installed)
and see if I can get it to join the domain again.
