You need to give a user with uid = 0 to add a machine to the domain, or at least you would if you were having it create the user automatically, but I would guess you still need to give a root-ish user. This smb.conf looks like it came from a 2.2 system with the 'domain admin group' parameter since that isn't a valid parameter any more. Also, I believe you would have a better time with tdbsam over smbpasswd. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe smbpasswd can store the extra parameters that tdbsam can.

I'd back out any of the manual changes you've done to /etc/passwd and smbpasswd (or just delete smbpasswd altogether and switch to tdbsam) and try to take a run at it giving root as the user when Windows asks for it.


I have added those users via smbpasswd –a <username> as well
as username –g admin <username> and they do show up in the smbpasswd
file. Here’s what appears in my smbd.log file:
