[Samba] Problem joining Windows machine to domain managed by Samba PDC
Hi, I am running into a problem that seems to occur to a lot of people, but I haven't yet worked out what the solution is. I have Samba version 3.0.3 installed in a Linux box (let's call it linuxserver) and I want it to run a Windows domain so that I can manage machines and users. I have a Windows box (call it windowsclient, running Windows 2003 Server) that I'd like to join to the domain (call the domain mydomain). 1. I have the following relevant parameters (among lots of others) set in my smb.conf file: workgroup = mydomain netbios name = linuxserver local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes wins support = yes 2. I have added the windowsclient machine to Samba using a command along the lines of: useradd -g machines windowsclient$ 3. From the windowsclient machine, I can browse directories on the linux server as I would expect. However, this is what happens when I try to join the windowsclient to mydomain: a. I right click on the My Computer icon. b. Select Properties. c. Click the Compter Name tab. d. Click Change. e. Click the Domain radio button. f. Enter mydomain in the Domain field and click OK. An error message is displayed along these lines: A domain controller for the mydomain domain could not be contacted. The more detailed error message says: The error was: DNS name does not exist. (error code 0x232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.MYDOMAIN Common causes of this error include the following:...
