Join a HP CIFS Server to a Windows NT,
Windows 2000 or Samba Domain
Step-by-step Procedure
1. Choose “Domain Member Server” when executing samba_setup.
When prompted, you will need to add your domain Member Server
machine account to the PDC.
For Windows NT: Go to the Windows NT PDC and create a
machine account for the HP CIFS Member Server by performing the
following steps:
a. Open the “start/programs/administrator/tools/server manager”
tool.
b. Select the “computer/add to domain” icon and enter the host
name of the HP CIFS Server.
c. Choose the “Windows NT Workstation or Server” option when
you are asked for the computer type.
For Windows 2000: Go to the Windows 2000 PDC and create a
machine account for the HP CIFS Member Server by using the
Active Directory Controller Wizard.
Check the "Allow Pre-Windows 2000 computers to use this
account" box and add the computer name
For Samba (including HP CIFS): Go to the Samba Server acting
as a PDC and create a machine account for the HP CIFS Member
Server by following the steps provided in Chapter 4 section titled,
“Create a Machine Trust Account.” samba_setup will then perform
the “net rpc join -U Administrator%password” command for
you.
2. Verify the following parameters in the smb.conf file:
[global]
security = domain
workgroup = NTDOM #Window NT or Samba Domain name
