[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba as Primary Domain Controller

[Rick Cook]

Hi all,

I am attempting to get a samba installation to work as the Primary 
Domain Controller for a Windows 2000 box (my wife needs a Windows box 
for her MLS application). I have successfully set up samba many times 
as a file server and I have a SuSE machine at work that is using an 
existing Windows 2000 based PDC to do its user authentication.

I think I have all of the appropriate switches/configuration in smb.conf 
as defined in the Samba-PDC-HOWTO, however, I can't get the Windows 
2000 machine added as a participant in the NT Domain. Never having done 
this step to a Windows PDC (the NT Administrators do this at work - 
even for my VMware virtual machine), I can't tell what I might be 
missing.


Any suggestions?
