Hi,

I have to linux samba servers setup. One is a PDC and the other is a standard file server.

The problem i have is when i try and make the standard file server join the PDC i keep getting this error message

-----------------------------------------------------

[root@isoserver ~]# net rpc join MCKNET -U admin Password:
[2007/03/25 19:48:45, 0] utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_newstyle(319)
Error domain join verification (reused connection): NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Unable to join domain MCKNET.

-----------------------------------------------------

Can anyone help me?

Many Thanks,

Blackfish

It sounds stupid, but first check that the account you are using actually works. The simplest way is to login with "smbclient" from the server itself.

tried smbclient

[root@isoserver ~]# smbclient -L NTHOSTSVR1 -U admin
Password:
Domain=[MCKNET] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9]

Sharename Type Comment

IPC$ IPC IPC Service (SME Server)
ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (SME Server)
admin Disk Home directory
Domain=[MCKNET] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9]

Server Comment

ISOSERVER SME Server
NTHOSTSVR1 SME Server
WSTATION1

Workgroup Master

im confused!

this lets me login but i cant make the ISOSERVER join the domain hosted by NTHOSTSVR1

any help will be appreciated!!

Many Thanks,

Edit:

tried with a different account with admin privilages but still no luck

OK, could you post the contents of the smb.conf file on the server?

Here is the smb.conf on the PDC Server (NTHOSTSVR1)

Both systems are running SME Server 7.1 but i editted the smb.conf files to try and set this up using the method on the SME Server Manual.

Hope that helps you to help me

Many Thanks,

BlackFish

fixed it, forgot to run smbpasswd -a -m ISOSERVER$ on the PDC

opps, but we all make mistakes lol
