Unable to join domain

Lets face it Windows 7 is a dead duck - in the corporate environment, this sort of problem is totally unacceptable.
I'm going back to XP.

Me too - I am going back to XP.

Lol thats exactly what I was thinking....

What a depressing read first thing in the morning...Go back to XP!?!


....sigh....

...I haven't given up yet!!!

ok....uhmmmm...Hmmmm....

I fixed the spelling error... rebooted....tried logging in, same error....

BUT...when looking at the DC samba server logs...NO ERROR listed!?!?!

Just the VERY last line says:

Server exit (failed to receive smb request)

It all looks good, but why now is it failing...? What kinda error is that!?!

LOL...when I have more time I'll look into it...

Anyone in here have any insight...?

Hmmm....I'm puzzled...

I have the EXACT same setting as you, but still am getting the trust error...

However, I am running samba 3.4....so maybe downgrading it back to 3.3.4 is the answer....?

But then again, I've done SO many tweaks to the security policies, I'm affraid I've made a change somewhere that's preventing it from working....is there a way to reset the security policies back to default so I could start from scratch again?

Thanks.

I haven't had time to try this, but this is what I was told.

<fn'gd> ismell: you need to take either the latest 3.3.x release or 3.4.0.
<fn'gd> ismell: then you still need to modify 2 registry keys (do *NOT* modify the netlogon registry keys)
<ismell> ohh
<ismell> the SignOrSeal ones ?
<fn'gd> ismell: yep, do please not modify them.

If some one tests this before I do post the results.

Have a read of Microsoft's KB article KB972407.
There was a WinDOZE 7 update yesterday which seems to address this issue.
Not sure if this is "the cure" as I had already somehow managed to get my WinDOZE 7 machine on the domain (thanks to all the other posts, gawd only knows which fix sorted it!).
There were quite a few updates, so probably worth a go.

This update? Download details: Update for Windows 7 Release Candidate for x64-based Systems (KB972407) Date Published: 8/24/2009...only applies to 64bit systems...and doesn't make much sense on how that would influence a domain controller....? I'm running 32bit...
