Ash, net help rpc shows the following for the --long option:
-l or --long Display full information In what I've found from googling and the Samba-Guide (thanks, John!), it looks like net rpc join will create the Domain machine account when you run it; if MYSERVER already exists, you'll be prevented from creating a duplicate entry. Try deleting MYSERVER from the Domain. then run your original command... ./net rpc join -U administrator%'xxxxxxxx' or ./net rpc join -S NT4SERVER -U administrator%'xxxxxxxx' and see what happens. If this works, it reinforces this comment from my earlier link: This process joins the server to the domain without having to create the machine trust account on the PDC beforehand. and is a change from Samba 2.x, which required the creation of the machine trust account on the PDC before running "smbpasswd -j DOM -r DOMPDC". John: if this is true, can Chap 7 be amended to reflect the change?
