Did you try to: - first make a machine-account _ONLY_ in PosixAccount. - then try to run the wizard from XP with a (or better to be sure, THE) root account.
You need to have "add machine script" configed for this ofcourse. I had the same problem adding clients to the domain... but when I tried this procedure, it worked 4 me.

The passdb backend is LDAP / eDirectory 8.7 on another machine. The Samba box is supposed to work as a stand alone domain controller, so I am testing to join a client machine to it's domain. This is my "add machine script": /usr/bin/cpu useradd %u -d /dev/null -f /etc/samba/scripts/machadd.cfg -F %u -L %u -g 511 -p xxx I've manually tested this script and it's reliably creating a functional user with the necessary posixAccount class attached. When I do a "smbpasswd -amn" on that user object it becomes a Samba machine account just as it should. But when I run the "Network ID"-Wizard from the Windows XP client I get a "bad username or password" message when Windows is at the point of actually requesting the machine account on the DC. Strangely, the correct posixAccount is indeed being created - Samba simply "forgets" to add the SambaSamAccount after the script ran. This is also what the LDAP log tells me: There are no errors at all, but the LDAP traffic still stops right after the posixAccount user is added. I've also got a level 3 Samba log for the client machine. It doesn't tell me much more, but it can be mailed on request. Thanks for any help !
