Then + the Samba server is reconfigured so that it NO LONGER offers + Domain logon services. Windows NT and 95 workstations can no + longer log onto the domain. Ouch!!! + + Case 2: + The Windows NT Server which is running the Network logon + Service is shut down and restarted while Samba is a domain + controller offering the Domain LogOn service. Windows NT + Workstation and Server can no longer log onto the network. + + Cause: + Windows NT checks at start up to see if any domain logon + controllers are already running within the domain. It finds + Samba claiming to offer the service and therefore does NOT + start it's Network Logon Service. + + Windows NT needs the Windows NT network logon service to gain + from it's Domain controller's SAM database the security + identifier for the user loging on. + +Work-around: Stop the Samba nmbd and smbd processes, then on the Windows + NT Primary Domain Controller start the Network Logon Service. + Now restart the Samba nmbd and smbd services. +========================================================================= |
