Re: Can't join a Samba PDC domain from XP or 2000

[Alan Harding <alanh flashmail com>]

The first question I would ask is a simple one. Are the clocks on the XP
and WK2000 systems synced with the PDC. I know that this should only be
an issue with Win2k and Active Directory, but we had a whole bunch of XP
boxes that wouldnt join the domain until we set the clocks (and the
Regions) to correspond to the PDC (Linux and Samba 2.2.5)

Just a thought, and by the way Happy Easter
