This would require interaction from the administrator after cloning. I want a solution which works fully without interaction.

[Samba] change machine password
Hi I use some programs to clone a windows workstation and duplicate it's image on other workstations. After cloning I change the workstation name and add a machine account on the samba pdc. Now I want to create a new password for the workstation account and store it. I use Suse Linux 9.3 as samba pdc. samba version is 3.0.13. How can I set the password for a workstation? Notebook:/etc/samba # smbpasswd -m test Failed to set password for user test$. Failed to modify password entry for user test$ I tried smbpasswd to change the password but this doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way to change the password? I know I can modify the file smbpasswd directly or change the password in ldap. But I want a clean solution working with every password backend.

Best regards, Tilo Lutz As far as I know You need to set a system account. smbpasswd gives this error because of the missing user entry for test$ in /etc/passwd. Just add the user without shell and homedir and try smbpasswd again. Hope this helps, please let me know I've You have another kind of setup and You are sure that You don't need a plain system account for Your machine accounts.

Notebook:/home/tilo # Cheers, Tilo So the system machine account exits but smbpasswd will not allow to create the samba user account for this machine? After I've read Your first post again: Maybe the machine account doesn't even need a password but You only need to to add the account with smbpasswd -a -m test$? I've set up a couple of Win32 domain members with cloning and my problems only occured with the clients and not the backend (e.g. get machine out of domain and bring in again).

Just leave the domain and join it again, your problem will be solved. Yet another method is not using cloning, but a real Unattended installation - similar to cloning, but doesn't have the drawbacks of cloning (which are: problems with machine names/passwords, cloning will work only on the same/very similar hardware, hard to change etc.).
