Hi
(Sorry but I can't make it shorter than this)
I'm trying to simulate a real network using virtualbox and in particular test the possibility of a single sign on linux/windows lan. Samba is working. I can see users linux /home folders on the windows machine by entering:
\\hh1\lynn2
LDAP is working since lynn2 can login at a command line and the username/password works for seeing the share from windows as above. /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba/log.smbd confirm this. log.nmbd also confirms that the samba server is also a logon server.
I have a windows 7 virtual machine setup:
192.168.1.2 opensuse 11.4 DNS server, LDAP server, samba server PDC for a domain called HH1, gateway 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.4 Windows 7 running in virtualbox, joined to the domain HH1, DNS set to 192.168.1.2, gateway 192.168.1.1
When I try to logon to the domain from windows, it gives me the error 'No logon servers available' whether I have the static setup as above or automatic IP and DNS via dhcp.
Lynn, I have had domain logins working from Windows XP but never from Windows 7. I believe that there was a documented problem with Win 7 using Samba for domain logons that required a registry hack on Win 7 but I can't remember for sure - it wasn't important enough for me to pursue so I didn't bother with it. Try google and see if it turns up some hints. There might be something else going on with the bridged network adaptor setup too. I use that on my machines but not with domain logins. There are other options for the network adaptor setup (as I'm sure you're aware) and each has different pros/cons - check the VB documentation to see what the limitations of each are. You may need to set up the VM with a different adaptor type and that may end up putting the virtual Windows install onto a different subnet (in which case you'll have to add that subnet to smb.conf and perhaps modify some firewall rules if you run a local firewall on that machine. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
