Thanks Jimmy

Yes this is a Unix SAMBA server, only xp workstations here. Can log int shares using administrator or root but not join the domain?

Arhhhhhh

Many thanks

Mike,

You must join the Domain with a valid "Windows" user that has Administrative
privileges in the Domain, assuming this is a Windows envirionment, not a
Unix PDC. In the Windows world, root has no meaning or privilege.

Hi I have now been through the documentation by-example guide

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/
There are two books:
        Samba3-HOWTO.pdf
        Samba3-ByExample.pdf


But I get the message "....error while joining domain xyz user not found"
when trying to join the domain with the root & rootpassword

Many thanks

Mike

You need to make sure your root account exists in your tbsam backend and then use root and its password when joining your windows workstations. At least that's how I did it Chris

Sorry still unable to find documentation Hello

I have set up a Samba 3 PDC on RHEL4 using the tdbsam backed. I can log in as a user who has been added to the tdbsam database from a workstation. When I try to add the workstation to the domain (after breaking user connections to the server) I get "The following error occurred while trying to joining the domain xyz.com. Access denied.

I havent seen any instructions in the how-tos on how to create the Administrative account on the server to accept workstations to join the domain?

How do I create security groups and join them to users ie Joe is a member of managers, accounts, engineers etc?

Many thanks

Mike
