[Samba] Fwd: Not able to join windows 10 clients to samba 3.6.23 NT4 Style PDC

[Gaiseric Vandal]

If this is an NT4-style domain, then DNS is not essential.    Things 
like SRV records aren't relevant since a lot of the NT4 is back from the 
NetBios days.        It looks like your Win 10 machine thinks it is 
trying to join an AD domain.      Windows clients machines typically are 
using DNS to resolve server names to IP addresses.   However DNS does 
not provide info on locating PDC's and BDC's.  That is better handled 
with the use of a WINS server (Windows Internet Naming) which is 
basically name looking up for "netbios" names and services.

I have configured my PDC to be the WINS server.


In my smb.conf on member server

    security = domain
    domain master = no
    domain logons = no
     name resolve order =  host wins  bcast
     workgroup = MYDOMAIN
     wins server = IP_OF_PDC



For a classic domain, make sure you have NOT disable NBT (netbios over 
tcp/ip) on the client machines.  By default it is left enabled.
