I found that Samba 3.5.x has trouble creating the LDAP attributes
correctly on new machine accounts . I think Samba 3.4.x was OK.
Rejoining a machine to a domain was usually OK. You need may need to
do a mix of account creation with smbpasswd and LDAP modification with
the LDAP editor.
It appears to incorrectly set sambaAccountFlags as "[U]" (user)
instead of "[W]" (workstation). When attempting to join a machine to
the domain you may get an error that the account already exists. Use an
LDAP editor to make sure sambaAccountFlags is set to "[W]." (You can
used pbedit to verify the setting but not to change it to "[W].")
type: sambaAccountFlags
value: [W ]
If, when joining a domain, you get an error that the "the specified
network password is not correct." you may need to precreate the samba
account attribues with the pdbedit or smbpasswd commands .Try the
following on spooky
#smbpasswd -x -m machinename
#smbpasswd -a -m machinename
You MAY also need to make sure that the sambaPrimaryGroupSID is also
set. It should end with 515.
type: sambaPrimaryGroupSID
value: S-1-5-21-xxx-xxx-xxx-515

Greetings.
I've run into a trouble when trying to add a new Win7 machine on a domain.
The domain is controlled by a server running Samba + LDAP (samba compiled
with ldap support), on a Debian 5 OS at the local network.
I've added the machine name to the LDAP three through phpldapadmin using
the option "Samba3 Machine" on the related submenu and via terminal on
samba. Then I renamed the new machine to match the computer name and tried
to add it to the domain. When prompted for credentials to add the new
machine I've informed the admin login and password and hit <enter>.
The windows then returned the following error (something like): "The
junction operation was not well succeded. Maybe another existent machine
account <machine_account_name> was created previously using anothet set of
credentials. User another computer name or contact the admin to remove any
obsolete conflicting account. Error: Access denied."
Any ideas for the troubleshoot will be welcome.
