My Domain SMB knowledge is slightly rusty but here goes... 1. Your Samba server's ip address ends with a 0, which, AFAIK, is reserved for network addresses (unless it has some special purpose like the the /32 netmask). What is the output of "ifconfig -a"? 2. In your smb.conf: 2.a The following are missing (although they may be the default settings for these variables): security = user local master = yes 2.b I have forgotten why, but AFAIK "127.0.0.1" should be listed in "interfaces =". 2.c What does "share modes = No" do? 3. If you have not yet created a computer account for the Windows box, you have to log on to the domain as root (or as a user with the right to add a machine account) the first time that you do so from a Samba client for the "add machine script =" variable to do its magic. 4. The "_ldap._tcp...." DNS SRV records are needed for an AD domain (IIRC there are 6 +-1). I have never set up an AD Samba PDC but your smb.conf settings look like those of an NT4 Samba PDC so it may just be a misleading error/failure message. Your Windows box seems to be an XP VM but just in case the netbios name is misleading, see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
