Hi 
would you please help in this,

I tried to configure my SLES 10 to become PDC using samba with or
without ldap , and I used the manuals came with the SLES 10, but they
are not useful. and the result is the same,

when I tried to join windows to the domain, a user not found msg
appeared,

however, when I started rcsmb and rcnmb the /var/log/samba/log.nmbd log
shows that the samba server was acting as Domain Master Browser for
seconds and then local master browser and log.smbd shows no errors.

can you give me a howto guide to implement samba on SLES 10 as PDC ???

diya_1426,

you might have a look at this cool solution article:

'Migrating User Storage from Windows NTFS to Linux and AD to a Samba
Domain | Novell User Communities' (http://tinyurl.com/62t76m)

It describes something similar and has a configuration part for joining
the windows domain with a sles 10 server.

Hope this helps,
Rainer

thak you for your reply,

This book provides wide informaition of samba and it is available in
samba-doc package, but it talks about samba in general, for example, I
cannot implement smbldap-tools package in SLES, because it has diffrent
implementation way in SLES than this book shows, and also I did the
troubleshooting checklist, but it did not resolved my issue.

finally, from all my searches and investigations, I think I am doing
fine regarding smb.conf and ldap it self, and the soluation starts from
smbldap-tools: there is no smbldap package in SLES CDs, so, have you any
idea about this?

thank you

It contains docs for samba like: samba official guide, samba how to,
samba by example, and alot of docs and tools for samba.
and it contains the smbldap-tools, which manages the relationship
between samba and openldap directory service
