[Samba] On Machine Accounts

[Stéphane PURNELLE]

Hi,

machine account is a rules of windows domains.

since NT4 domain, W2k domain, AD domain, all requiere  a machine account.
It's a security purpose who exist in samba and microsoft domain controler.

You cannot bypass this rules if your network use a domain controler.

You have to possibility : 

put your DC on standalone server who just have share (no home and no 
profile)
or create your  full disk image on a client out of your domain and 
sysadmin just change machine name and add to the domain.

best regards

   Stéphane
