Hi,
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
Workgroup or Domain? Are you adding a samba PDC to an existing active directory domain?
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: ----
.....
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...
Yes, windows 2000 and 2003 uses DNS as a locator service. When you join a domain, servers and clients dynamicly update the name server. Each server insert records of type SRV to the name server to indicate what functions it is performing (ldap, kerberos, global catalog server, ....). If you have the requirement that the source of IP to host mappings be bind, you have essentially two solutions: - run the bind servers in dynamic mode (allowing only the Domain Controllers to make changes to the DNS records) - use a combination of Bind and W2K dns servers, delegating the following zones (_msdcs, _tcp, _udp, _sites) to a microsoft dns server, which is more "secure" than the previous solution because the dns servers can be run in a "secured" mode Regards.
