os x 10.4 server PDC

    I'm trying to get an xserve to be a Primary Domain Controller for Windows XP machines.

    The setup:
    Server is Open Directory Master
    Server is PDC

    When I try and join the windows XP client I'm asked for a user name and password, I enter a directory admin user and passwd. I then receive an error user not found.

    Samba log.smbd:

    odssam_getsampwnam: [0]get_sam_record_attributes dsRecTypeStandard:Computers no account for 'NetBIOSname$'!
    [2007/05/08 11:05:58, 0] pdb_ods.c:odssam_getsampwnam(2329)
    odssam_getsampwnam: [0]get_sam_record_attributes dsRecTypeStandard:Computers no account for 'NETBIOSname$'!
    [2007/05/08 11:05:58, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-100.7/samba/source/passdb/passdb.c:pdb_init_sam_new(386)
    could not find new user/computer NETBIOSname$ in passdb.


    I thought that NetBIOS names where added automatically once a directory admin user joined that client to the domain.

    I even tried adding the NetBIOS name manually to the computer list.

    thanks

    Got it working.

    The problem was with the directory admin account being out of sync with samba.

    Fix:

    Stop Windows services in Server Admin.
    Remove tdb files from /var/samba and /var/db/samba
    Restart Windows services in Server Admin with server set to PDC.

    All the tdb files are updated and now joining a client to the Domain works.
