I'm currently running Samba3x-3.3.8-0.51 on CentOS 5.5. I currently have many Windows XP clients associated with the domain and behaving correctly.
However, I am unable to join a Windows 7 PC.  I receive "The specified
network name is no longer available."

I've verified that DNS is configured correctly, and as stated XP machines
have no problem joining.

There's a reg file that comes with the source code. Not sure about binary
packages.

Cheers,

SNIP

Like tms3 told u, we have to make some changes to the register before
we join ms 7 to the domain, I already did and works, no issue.

Another thing I see in your smb.conf:

security = DOMAIN.

In my little knowledge about samba, if u have a PDC it must say:

security = user.

Went u add a BDC it must say:

security = DOMAIN.

I disagree on the last point.

Security = user is default, so no entry necessary.

For PDC I use:

       os level = 64
       preferred master = Yes
       domain logons =Yes
       domain master = Yes

For BDC I use (if on separate nodes)

       os level = 64
       preferred master = Yes
       domain logons =Yes
       domain master = no

If on same node

       os level = 60
       preferred master = Auto
       domain logons =Yes
       domain master = no



"In domain security mode, the Samba server has a machine account
(domain security trust account) and causes all authentication requests
to be passed through to the domain controllers. The Samba server is
made into a domain member server by using the following directives in
smb.conf."

"security = domain"

Last thing, smbldap-tools using the base repo from Centos 5.5 depend
on Samba-3.0.x, u must build your own rpm to work with samba3x.

My two cents.
