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 its Network Logon Service. - - Windows NT needs the Windows NT network logon service to gain - from its 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. - - Better still: DO NOT CONFIGURE SAMBA AS THE NETWORK LOGON - SERVER, DO NOT SET SAMBA TO BE THE DOMAIN MASTER, DO NOT - SET SAMBA TO OS LEVEL GREATER THAN 0. - - ie: Let Windows NT Server be the Domain Logon server, the - domain master browser and do NOT interfere with any aspect - of Microsoft Windows NT Domain Control. -========================================================================= |
