Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure I understand. Most likely I haven't explained myself good enough. You said: >Because it's an invalid syntax. In the windows world it's DOMAIN\username, end of story. I tested that syntax ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with mapping a share from windows 2003 server and this syntax is perfectly right and works like a Swiss Watch. In fact, I thought that in complex environment with multiple domains and sub domains and trusts between domain it should be very common to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I thought that the syntax domain\name is more like a pre-windows2000 syntax. Of course I now that "domain" in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] style meaning the Active Directory domain name (what samba called realm name) and "domain" in "domain\name" means the pre-windows (netbios name). For example: Active Directory domain name: london.agami.com Pre-windows2000 domain name: london User name: ephi Now I have samba server that joined this domain in ADS style. I also have another win2003 that joined that domain. Samba and the other windows 2003 server both have one share each. When I go to winxp client to map those shares I can use both styles ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and london\ephi) when prompoted to put username/password. HOWEVER, samba does not like me to use [EMAIL PROTECTED], ONLY london\ephi worked. I hope I explained my point better. I guess, all I am asking is why samba (maybe only my samba) server doesn't allow me to use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", meaning only "netbiosDomain\name" works.

In the windows world it's DOMAIN\username, end of story. Also, is your windows domain named domain.com (substituting real values of course) as opposed to just domain? If so you're probably also seeing plenty of errors with joined machines looking for DNS entries that would only exist in an LDAP setup. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
