Thanks for your help.
I tried configuring the Windows 7 registry settings listed here, even though it says it shouldn't be necessary for an Active Directory domain: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Registry_changes_for_NT4-style_domains. The client acts exactly the same. Are there other registry settings somewhere else, or is this some other problem?

Let's start the troubleshoot with Win7. Normally you need to modofy it's registry to Win7 work with Samba. Was it done? Att. 2013/9/5 <jared.m.jacob...@l-3com.com> I stood up a samba 4 (4.0.9) Active Directory domain controller on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 server, configured in accordance with the Samba AD DC HOWTO <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO> , and tailored to the domain name I want. I'm trying to join a Windows 7 Enterprise Edition client to the domain. Windows responds with "Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The network path was not found." I used wireshark to capture the message exchange. ... here's a summary of the messages exchanged (C = Win 7 client, S = samba server, pretending client IP is 192.168.0.3, server IP is 192.168.0.4, server name is server, client name is client, and domain name is domain.name): ... 13. C->S: CLDAP search request "<ROOT>" baseobject a. Filter: DnsDomain=domain.name && Host=CLIENT && User=CLIENT && AAC=80:01:00:00 && NtVer=0x20000016 b. Attributes: netlogon 14. S->C: CLDAP serchresentry a. Type: netlogon b. Opcode: LOGON_SAM_USER_UNKNOWN_EX Based on this exchange, it looks like the Win 7 client is trying to use the username CLIENT (message 13) rather than the "Administrator" username I put in when attempting to join the domain, and the server is rejecting that user because it doesn't know that user. Is it normal for the Win 7 client to use the computer name for the username, here? Did I miss something in the HOWTO? Am I supposed to add the client computer name to the Active Directory before trying to join the domain? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
