[SOLVED] Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
[SOLVED] Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
Good evening, I get the following error when prompted for my user name and password credentials that have access to the domain rights on the server. After typing in root and the password I get the following.
"The specified computer account could not be found. Contact an administrator to verify the account is in the domain. If the account has been deleted, unjoin, reboot and rejoin the domain."
Posted below is my smb.conf file, however I feel like I am screwing up the last steps with group-mapping, net commands, and creating accounts. I've been attempting to read about all of this and it has just become more vague and confusing and I'm having no luck. Any straightforward how-to advice would be great.

Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
Which version of samba is this? If not samba3, you may need to upgrade to samba3 to accommodate Windows 7.
Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
I'm almost certain it is Samba3x, I will go home and do a rpm -qi and post the results when available.

Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC

U need at least 3.3.x, with yum install samba3x, search here at the forum exist a lot of info about this.

Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
Ugh, guess I have to figure out how to install this without YUM. If anyone hasn't noticed I'm a total newbie at a lot of things UNIX/Linux.
Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
As [b]periko[/b] suggested, please search the forums for "samba3". You will find useful threads like

Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
The selection is what's making it difficult. :-) Thanks all by the way and sorry for the lack of knowledge or annoyance I've might of brought here.
Re: Cannot Join Windows 7 to Samba PDC
Thanks everyone, I'm going to dig what you guys sent me, I'm in a move to a new home at the moment and will pick up the project again later.
