Hi,

I'm being asked about setting samba3 DMCs dual booted with XP. Now they are running fine with static IPs while XP clients run with dynamic IPs. PDC is a windows 2003 AD server.

Problem is that IT staff does not like to change any server config, so I guess this would be a matter of setting the same hostname on both OSs and disabling automatic machine account password changes on XP (as stated on MS's doc), but I'm unable to find any information about the samba side.

How does Samba set machine account at joining? If machine account does exist at joining, is that password used? If not, could that password be copied between systems? Do samba machines change machine account password automatically? If so, could this be disabled?

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Roman
