Samba Aix - Nt connection after upgrade

[paul106]

Hi,

I have a an aix server which is connected into a windows domain for user authentication. (Which worked fine) and was setup using the command

./net join networks –S test1 –U samba

I installed an updated version of samba (version 3023) created a new user on the AD server and tried to reconnect to the domain with the following command.

./net join networks –S test1 –U samba3023

This fails to join the domain, I tried deleting the secrets.tdb file & rejoining but everything I do fails.

I can create a link to the old secrets.tdb file & everything works fine.

Why can't I recreate the connection into the domain, is each machine limited to one connection (don't think it should be)or is it something to do with the secrets/passwd files for samba

Anybody any ideas

Have you deleted the old machine account on the Windows domain?
I would probably delete and re-create on Windows and then 'net join'
At my side, I found that with Samba 2.2.X, I could join the domain without a username/password (by creating the anonymous pre-Windows 2000 machine account on the domain)
Recently I found that with Samba 3.x, a domain admin (or someone with the correct rights on Windows) has to type in their username and password to join.
It's not specific to AIX as the Solaris guys also mentioned that they have the same issue.
