Hi!

We still suffering on that "Rejecting auth request from client" with our windows 7 machines, and additionally have the problem that windows 7 machines are randomly loosing there
trustship.

May it be that both topics are related, that simply windows 7 can not set a proper machine account password from the domain join on and looses trustship if it tries to change the password ...?

regards

martin




Both issues:

**********************************************************************************************************

I have samba 3.5.4 on an Ubuntu 8.04 running with windows 7 clients.
(ldapsam as background tdb)

I do have log entries of some machines in my samba log:


/netlogon_creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client
XXXXX machine account XXXXX$/

The user working on the machine does not seem affected in any way by
that "problem" but It would be interesting
how to solve that (that machines still have that behaviour after unjoin
an rejoin the domain - as I thought it would
be helpful to set the password again)

Can somebody give me a hint please?

regards
martin

I posted a message about the very same problem on July 15.

I think it does not always happen after 30 days (or whatever the change interval is set to), but only occurs when the machine password change time has arrived and the computer is on, but not no one is logged on (i.e. the login box is shown).

Since we are only starting to deploy Windows 7, we simply turned the machine password change off in the registry of our imaged installation and the few real installations. We had no more problems afterwards.


There are three ways to change the machine password behavior:

Client-Registry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
DisablePasswordChange = dword:1

or

Client-Registry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
MaximumPasswordAge = dword:1000000

or

Server-Registry (if you have a Windows server)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
RefusePasswordChange = dword:1

With Samba + OpenLDAP, set
sambaRefuseMachinePwdChange = 1
in the sambaDomainName=.... entry.
