Hi Kevin
Just cross check
(1)Did you create directories for domain logons and profiles:
(2)Did you add "root" user to the SAMBA password database.This account is
needed to add new computers to the samba domain
(3) Do a test for the setup by giving
smbclient -L localhost -U%
The output shall look similar to this:
Domain=[MYWORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (samba server (Samba, Ubuntu))
netlogon Disk Network Logon Service
print$ Disk Printer Drivers
Domain=[MYWORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
Server Comment
--------- -------
SERVER1 samba server (Samba, Ubuntu)
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
MYWORKGROUP SERVER1
WORKGROUP FILESERVER
(4) Did you add users to samba domain
as
net rpc user add saji -U root
net rpc user password tom "mypass" -U root
smbpasswd -e saji
(4) most important Did you change the WindowsXP settings to log to the DC
You could find this by right click , myComputer , properties
After I read your mail , I did try to setup a PDC using ubuntu and I am able to
login now from XP machine . I am sure you could also do it
Also I recommend you to read the docs
on the link
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html
for a proper understanding
Thanks
Joseph John
