[Samba] Problems with Windows 7 on domain, Samba server not

[Joshua J. Kugler]

[Accidentally sent this to Gaiseric. Oops]

On Wednesday 13 October 2010, Gaiseric Vandal elucidated thus:

The account names are the same on the server and in the domain.

> Are the passwords the same? 

No. Their domain password is not the same as their system password.

> Does the samba server "workgroup" name match the domain name on the
> windows clients?

No.

> Can you use the "username map" option in smb.conf and have a username
> map file that maps "DOMAIN/user" to "user" ?

Had not tried that,  But neither

OUR_DOMAIN\jkugler

nor

OUR_DOMAIN/jkugler

allows me to log in from the Windows 7 system, so I'm not sure what's up 
there.

As I mentioned, using

net use w: \\server_name * /USER:<user_name>

works just fine.
