Joining your HP3000 to a Windows Domain using Samba/iX

At the time I tested joining domains prior to releasing 2.2.8a, it was against an NT4 domain.

My test notes say:

1) Create yourself a domain computer account. You need to do this via standard Windows processes, not with Samba. Within HP I can use a magic web site to create computer accounts.

2) Modify your Samba's smb.conf to include:

security = domain

encrypt passwords = yes

password server = PDC or BDC name

3) Join your Samba server to the domain:

/SAMBA/CURRENT/bin/smbpasswd -j domainname

I just retested all of this on a different MPE machine and it still works for NT4 domains.
