I finally managed to setup samba as a PDC and I was delighted to see that it
actually worked this time, thanks to a few people here on the list. I could
join the domain from the a computer running XP but I'm having some trouble
when I try to connect from another computer. I get the following message;
"A domain controller for the domain could not be contacted
The error was: 'DNS name does not exist.'
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN NAME
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS."
It's been a while since I've run Samba as a PDC, so my memory is
fuzzy, but I do know that this error indicates that Windows is trying
to join an Active Directory domain (which uses DNS). So either it's
not configured to try joining an NT-style domain such as Samba runs,
or it's failing to see your NT-style domain. I'd recommend that you
start by checking your network settings on the client: check that
NetBIOS over TCP is not disabled, and configure a WINS server, if
necessary. Running Wireshark might help you see if the computer's
even trying to find an NT-style domain and what's going wrong if it
is.
