Hi list, I have installed Samba 2.2-8a on a linux box running RH 9 with LDAP backend as the account database. I have configured the system to function as PDC. When I try to join the domain from any Win2K machine, I get the following error:
The following occured validating the name "mydomain". This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. The specified domain either doesn't exist or couldn't be contacted. When I go to 'network neighborhood' I can see the PDC, but for some reason I can't join the domain. I have done the necessary things to join the domain from creating a machine account using the "./smbldap-useradd -w machine_name" to some suggestions from Microsoft Knowledge base like removing the DNS first, trying to join the domain, and then add the DNS. Any comments will be appreciated.
