Hi All!
I noticed that a couple of people were having trouble connecting
to samba v3 shares from Windows Server 2003 boxes. I ran into this problem
myself and found a solution that worked for every one of my differing
servers. At first I thought that the issue was with the samba server as the
Windows boxes connected just fine to shares hosted on a samba v2 server but
then mysteriously stopped working after the upgrade to v3. Turns out,
though, that all I had to do was change one Windows group policy.
This is a machine policy and can be set locally on the server in
question or you can create a custom GPO on your domain controller and simply
drop all of your servers into it. This change requires a reboot in order to
take effect. Here are the clicks.
1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type "gpedit.msc" and hit Enter
3. Expand Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows
Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
4. Select Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
5. Define this policy with the value "Send LM & NTLM responses"
6. Close all windows and restart the machine
Hope this works as well for you as it did for me.
