Hi,

I'm trying to join a W2k client to a Samba PDC. I go to My Computer -> proerties -> Network ID -> properties, click on the domain radio button, type in the samba domain name and click OK. Windows asks me for a valid user/passwd to join domain so I type in root and the passwd and the error message I get is that I can't join the domain because "There is no user session key for the specified logon session." I've already made the registry modification but that didn't help.

Here's my smb.conf:

global]
netbios name = cronus3
workgroup = AMI-PRINT
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
update encrypted = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
domain logons = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m
log level = 6

domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 64
unix password sync = No

logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m
logon drive = M:
logon home = \\%L\%u\.win_profile\%m

domain admin group = root

printing = LPRng
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = Yes

interfaces = 137.131.204.71/255.255.255.0

character set = ISO8859-15
client code page = 850

veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
writable = no
browsable = no

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
browseable = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
guest ok = no
map archive = yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
guest ok = No
printable = Yes
browseable = Yes

Thanks in advance,

Did you add smb accounts for root and the machine you are trying to join the domain with?
