Hello I have recently "inherited" a small domain consisting of a linux server running samba 3.6 and one client computer running Windows 7.
I want to add another client (also running Windows 7) to the domain. Previously adding clients has been done by manually creating a linux machine account and samba account. I have created the accounts for the new client but when I try to configure it to be part of the domain a window pops up prompting for an account and password "that can join the domain". I don't really know what to enter here and I am unable to add the machine. Quoting from the documentation: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#machine-trust-accounts "When the user elects to make the client a domain member, Windows 200x prompts for an account and password that has privileges to create machine accounts in the domain." "A Samba administrator account (i.e., a Samba account that has root privileges on the Samba server) must be entered here; the operation will fail if an ordinary user account is given. The necessary privilege can be assured by creating a Samba SAM account for root or by granting the SeMachineAccountPrivilege privilege to the user account." What should I do sucessfully add the client to the domain? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
