[Samba] Two attempts required to join domain (SOLVED)

[Bill Arlofski]

If anyone is interested (especially time travelers from the future), the fix
for our issue was found here.

http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg31736.html

a thread from way back in 2004...


That along with the smb.conf line

add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -t 0 -w "%u"

allows our XP machines to join domain on first attempt regardless of what OU
we decide to place them in.

Using a -i on the smbldap-useradd command line, as recommended by someone in
the IRC #samba channel, does not work for us.


Thanks Steve and Gaiseric for trying to help out.   I tried both suggestions,
but in the end, It appears I need the sub scope search in ldap.conf
