Is > there a differense in the way XP and W2k joins a domain There is a considerable difference between a domain as it was for OS/2, win9x/me and Windows NT and the position now. Then, for example, one could have a PDC and one (or more I think) secondary and/or backup domain contoller. Now, one can have hierachy of domains spanning the world. Then, domains didn't scale. Now, they scale quite well, and one can even have a local domain controller for, say, London when the gloabl catalog (held by the principal DC) is in, oh, New York. Now, bear in mind that in the first instance you didn't actually give out much info about what you are trying to achieve or why, what you have tried or what your specific errrors are. Probably, you need to enabile WINS server in Samba, specify domain logons = yes logon script = logon.cmd maybe these: logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U and read closely what you need to do to make XP and 2000 talk to NT domain controllers. Your prospects of emulating a Windows 200{0,3} domain controller are fairly remote. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
