I spent so long on this, it's not funny, but if you run, smbldap-add --help you'll see the difference between lower case w and upper case W: -w is a Windows Workstation (otherwise, Posix stuff only) -W is a Windows Workstation, with Samba atributes (otherwise, Posix stuff only) With the capital W several more ldap values are set than with the lower case w. Windows XP doesn't care, but I was only, finally successful with Windows 7 once I switched to the capital W. Specifically, in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file, add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -W "%u" Search engines being case-insensitive, this is likely to be very hard to figure out. Maybe there's more to the story--I can't believe this isn't more widely posted, so maybe my installation is somehow special--but it worked for me, and it's easy enough to try, so give it a try. --Fred PS: Don't mean to spam this list, but am sending this yet again, after joining the mailing list, waiting, sending again.... -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/windows-7-unable-to-join-domain-tp28886230p29210011.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
