[Samba] Samba and LDAP: Trouble adding Win XP machines to the domain

[John Drescher]

I have had the same problem with a similar setup for at least 3 years.
My solution is to create the account for the windows workstation
either via the smbldap-useradd and the linux useradd commands or a gui
wizard that does this for me. I currently use ldap-account-manager
http://lam.sourceforge.net/ for as well as user management. And then
after the account is created the windows add to domain boxes work.
