Linux in a Windows domain

Hello,
What is the procedure to add a linux client on a windows 2003 active directory server.
Thank you

Are you talking about an NT domain or an active directory?

for an NT domain, you should have the following in your smb.conf:

Code:

---

netbios name = SAMBA
workgroup = EVALUESERVE
security = domain
password server = IP_address_of_your_DC

---

you should then be able to do something like:

Code:

---

smbpasswd -j EVALUESERVE -r IP_address_of_your_DC -U NT_ADMINISTRATOR

---

If you're talking about an active directory domain, post again. I wasn't about to go into a crapload of information you may not need.

Do you have a dhcp server in your windows domain? If so, Redhat will get an address from it during installation, unless you chose to enter one manually. You don't have to "join" the domain with linux as you do with windows, it will automatically be on the network.

in that case you need to install samba

and have to change the Domain controller setting in smb.conf

but what you are trying to implement ??

do you want to see the linux mechine from Windows network explorer ??

have a look to the picture , do you want something like this
