Problem with Windows XP: Cannot join Samba PDC
For an "NT4/Samba" domain, DNS is not relevant. The XP client will locate the PDC via netbios. WINS is not essential but definately helps.

Adding Domain User Accounts to Windows 7 Clients (Samba3.4.8 PDC)
SNIP Does anybody have any ideas? I've run into this. It's a real bear. I've found that a proper WINS setup is very useful, but more important is to find out what is going on during the wire transactions. Google the appropriate one of these tools for your platform: NM33_x64.exe NM33_x86.e... 17 Jun 2010 18:59

[Samba] Samba 4 Cleanup Managing and Otherwise
OK, there has got to be a way to work with this thing other than wiping the Domain every time an error pops up.
