Hi Brijesh,

the machine account, which is created by joining the domain is 
overwritten by another when joining the domain with samba and the 
Windows Client "key" does not fit to the machine account anymore. We 
have several notebooks which had the same problem.

We solve it by giving the dual boot system another netbios name, so that 
smb.conf looks like that:

netbios name = machinename_l
netbios aliases = machinename

By joining the domain the machine account is created for machinename_l 
and does not touch the "original" Windows machine account. The alias is 
therefore, that the machine can be accessed with it's original name when 
booted in Linux.
