[Samba] Problems migrating NT4 domain to Samba

[Ryan Davis]

Hi,

I am finally biting the bullet and migrating our NT4 domain to Samba.
I am using the following guide: http://vermeulen.ca/linux-windows-nt.html
I installed a fresh copy of FC11 and installed samba 3 through yum.
Hostname of the linux machine is LEONIDAS.  the DOMAIN name is
GENOME1.  I created an account on the NT4 domain for a backup DC under
the server name LEONIDAS.

testparm returns that everything is ok.

I get the following error when I try to join the Samba BDC to the NT4
PDC:

[root at LEONIDAS ~]# net rpc join -I 199.45.176.40 -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Error in domain join verification (credential setup failed):
NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_
NAME

Unable to join domain GENOME1.

I am confused with the netbios option in the smb.conf  I have MYSERVER
has the netbios name because it was my understanding that it had to be
different from the hostname.

However when i look on the NT4 domain I see that "myserver" (all lower
case) was added to the list of servers and not LEONIDAS.

Does my Netbios name in the smb.conf need to be identical to my
hostname which is LEONIDAS?

if I type net getlocalsid I get:

[root at LEONIDAS ~]# net getlocalsid
SID for domain MYSERVER is: S-1-5-21-3366965450-4066854703-1441022026

and if I change the smb.conf and change the netbios name to LEONIDAS I
get:

[root at LEONIDAS ~]# net getlocalsid
[2009/11/12 14:49:48,  0] utils/net.c:166(net_getlocalsid)
 Can't fetch domain SID for name: LEONIDAS



Thanks for any help or input you may have.
