Hi All,
I know this has been done to death on this forum, but I still can't get
my Win 7 PCs to join a samba domain. I have edit the reg keys in HKLM
\System\CCS\LanmanWorkStation\Parameters, DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
and DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0, but still no joy. I am running Samba
3.5.10 on CentOS 5.8 and below in my smb.conf file.
Hi
We know the feeling. The problems we have had have almost always been
due to DNS errors. When we join a machine to the domain we always set it
to use the same DNS as the DC and then only specify the primary DNS.
I don't know about Samba3 but in Samba4, you can get a running log on
the DC in interactive mode (e.g. samba -i -d3) which gets very excited
during domain joins. There you can see the dns calls and IP's.
I say almost because we use Spanish keyboards and the password we were
giving included non alphanumeric characters which our British admin was
touch typing. Of course you don't see the password as it is typed in. .
. Moral: don't leave the obvious 'till last. Good luck,
We made a step by step commentary of a windows 7 to Samba domain join
with screen shots here:
