[Samba] not able to log on (PDC with ldap backend)

[Gaiseric Vandal]

But do you see  "Account Flags: [W          ] " for the Vista machine 
account?

Did you also see a machine account for the samba PDC  itself?  It should 
include

     Account Flags:        [S          ]



Are is the Vista client configured to use WINS?
