[Samba] Windows machines (WINXP, WIN2K) can/will not join domain

[Chartier, Prescott W CIV NUWC NWPT]

 Björn,

Once again, thanks for hanging in there :)

Assuming that there is no space between the simpledomain and the "@" sigh, dig returns:

<<>> Dig 9.3.4 - P1 <<>> ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

If there is a space before the "@" sign, dig returns:

Dig: couldn't get address for ns.simpledomain


                          Prescott .....

hi,

ok then I'm out here. I only use Win2003 domains with the kerberos authentification-protocol.  I did not know, that is changeable on a windows 2003 domain.

But a time out can also be that the service (net logon, I think so) does not respond in time.

whats the output of
dig _ldap._tcp.dc._msdc.simpledomain @ns.simpledomain

?

Greetings,
Björn
