Hi all, some weeks ago I posted the following message to the Samba list but haven't seen any replies so far... This might be a bit OT but I need to find an answer soon and surely someone here has faced this problem before...
I need to setup a PDC on Samba 3. To achieve this I followed the steps described on the Samba docs and on some other websites I found after googling for a while. From the Samba side everything seems to be OK: ---- Apr 3 15:30:06 v601 nmbd[11664]: Samba server V601 is now a domain master browser for workgroup MYDOMAIN.COM on subnet 192.168.1.11 ---- So far, so good... it was an easy task. Now problems arise when I want the WinXP Professional clients to join that domain (full disclosure here: I'm a Windows user by "market contamination" so maybe I'm overseeing something obvious during the process). This is the error message I get when trying to join the domain: ---- DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain mydomain.com: The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com The following domain controllers were identified by the query: v601.mydomain.com Common causes of this error include: - Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses. - Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running. For information about correcting this problem, click Help. ---- First off, I had to manually add that SRV record on my named.conf. I've been told that all needed entries are created automatically on the DNS when you are on a Windows environment... Secondly, AFAIK the DNS has been setup correctly for both direct and reverse queries. That's why I must raise an eyebrow when I see such an error message popping up So... is there anything I have forgotten to set up things correctly??
