Hi

After much work I realised that the name of my Linux box was hh1.com and I had 
chosen HH1 for the Samba domain name. THat seems sensible enough no? But it 
seems that that is not allowed. I can't find anywhere in the documentation 
which warns against this.

I changed the Samba domain to HH2, removed the old ldap machine objects, 
unjoined the domain HH1 and rejoined HH2.

Everything now works as expected except that at first logon from windows 7, 
the profile isn't saved. You have to log out and back in again. Then the 
profile is saved.

With XP clients you don't have to relogin.

Hope this helps us all toward a single sighn on. It's going to make our lan 
much more bearable.

Thanks to everyone for their time.
Steve.
