Everyone, Thanks for pointing me to the ADS howto docs. I'll RTFM. My Samba servers are 2.2.x. I realized after my posting that I wasn't correctly stating my problem. I'll try to be more specific. In setting up my 2.2.x Samba servers in an NT domain with a remote PDC and local BDC for user accounts, I first needed to add machine accounts on a local resource BDC for the Samba servers before joining our domain via smbpasswd. In a mixed mode ADS enviroment with Pre-Windows 2000 compatibility mode I can add Samba servers to Active Directory as before, as long as I create machine acounts before joining the domain. This works fine. However, as we move to a native mode environment, the plan is to do away with the local resource BDCs for machine accounts. Without them I can't join the domain. Am I wrong in my impression that I won't need to create machine accounts in Samba 3.0? Any suggestions to get around this problem?!? --- Jerry Damian - My opinions != Ford's opinions or policy Ford Motor Co, 1116 SRL, MD 1074, 2101 Village Road, Dearborn, MI 48124 USA Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Virgo Supercluster, Observable Universe Phone: 313 323 8347 Fax: 313 390 4865 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
