Hi, machine account is a rules of windows domains.
since NT4 domain, W2k domain, AD domain, all requiere a machine account. It's a security purpose who exist in samba and microsoft domain controler. You cannot bypass this rules if your network use a domain controler. You have to possibility : put your DC on standalone server who just have share (no home and no profile) or create your full disk image on a client out of your domain and sysadmin just change machine name and add to the domain. best regards Stéphane ----------------------------------- Stéphane PURNELLE Admin.
