RE: Samba and NT Domains

[Murdock, Matt]

Thank you. THis is what I thought. I had one of our Domain Admins. re-add the machine name back on the domain controller, now it readded the linux server successfully to the Domain.       However, I now get strange messages about not able to talk to "workgroup" . So I might have to stop and start the samba server to pickup the Domain = <Domain-Name> in the smb.conf file. Samba creates a MACHINE.SID in the samba directory and it is that SID that gets propagated to the NT Domain Controller. Again THanks. -----Original Message----- From: Randy Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Samba and NT Domains I’m going to just guess here, but you may have caused a problem by deleting the name from the domain.  As NT creates a separate code combination for each entry in the domain (user or asset), by deleting it, and then reusing the name, you may have caused NT to refuse the name you’ve continued to use.   I have run into a similar problem before, but have no way of knowing if this applies to you.    Sorry this isn’t more helpful..   RandyW   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Murdock, Matt Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 12:45 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Samba and NT Domains       My Redhat linux server using samba 2.2.2 was participating in a NT domain (Security=domain in the smb.conf file), and users were being validated by the NT Domain Controller. I reloaded the Linux and now I cannot rejoing the NT Domain. I have deleted the linux Server out of the NT domain.      I run "smbpasswd -U <valid_domain_user> -j <domain>" and it reports back it cannot find the <HOSTNAME> and then says unable to join <DOMAIN>. Is the syntax correct? What else could be the problem?    Matthew R. Murdock Senior Systems/Network/H.A. Admin. Brooks-Pri Automation 5245 W. Yeager Rd.
