I have spent many late nights looking into this problem but have gone nowhere, I would really appreciate someone to shine some light on this problem for me. I have 2 workstations ascoffice1 which is a WinVistaBusiness client - works perfectly although doing anything that requires privledge escallation while attached to the domain fails. Roaming profiles work. The other machine ascoffice2 is a Win7Pro client. This is the one I am having problems with.
On connecting to the domain (after applying the suggestions here #1) I get this error message: The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted. Upon rebooting and trying to login I get the error message: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. Looking at the server shares the Only thing I can spot that is missing is the Admin$ share: earth:~# smbclient -L earth Enter root's password: Domain=[ASC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.3] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- netlogon Disk Network Logon Service print$ Disk Printer Drivers IPC$ IPC IPC Service (root session user root group earth clienthost) Domain=[ASC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.3] Server Comment --------- ------- ASCOFFICE1 ASCOFFICE2 EARTH session user %G group nmbd clienthost Workgroup Master --------- ------- ASC EARTH WORKGROUP HP earth:~# Removing and re-adding the machine to the domain causes the machine account to dissapear and re-appear looking at: earth:~# net sam list workstations ASCOFFICE1$ ASCOFFICE2$ I don't know where, how or why the Admin$ share does not exist, I have followed (mostly) example 4 in this book #2 Many thanks, Adrian #1 http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 #2 http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/Big500users.html -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
