WinXP computers can't join the domain

Hi, I'm setting up my first Xserve and I'm having troubles making WinXP machines join the domain.
With OS X and Win98 clients I have no problems with the tests accounts I have created, but with with WinXP machines I get the error that they can't Join the domain becouse Access is Denied. I don't think is a configuration error on the server's services or the WinXP boxes becouse I can join the domain and access the account for diradmin OK from the WinXP boxes, so it may be an account configuration problem.
Also the accounts have network home folders, don't know if this might also cause a problem, I did try with no home assigned and still got the same error.
Any help would be appreciated

Fixed the problem myself....
Creted a new account and dindn't move anything on it, nothing managed and nothing changed on the account windows tab.
Joined the domain with the diradmin account, and after the reboot used the new test user, logged in fine and home folder was mounted as a Network drive perfectly.
Hope this helps someone in the future

  • XP computers can't join SMB domain (password issues)

    Just when I thought I was done setting up the new environment, a show-stopper appeared: I'm unable to join XP computers to the new SAMBA domain. No matter what I do, I get the error message "Login failure: unknown username or bad password" on the client computer.
    The SMB log files show: Authentication for user [xxx] -> [xxx] FAILED with error NTSTATUS_WRONGPASSWORD
    OpenDirectory says: " DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect)"
    I already looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302942 - the Realms are set correctly and the methods to verify the passwords work on both the PDC and the BDC without an issue.
    I've tried this with diradmin, I created a new user and added it to the Domain Admins and Admins groups etc. I also tried several NTLM/LM response settings in secpol.msc, all to no avail.
    - I've been working on this for two days now without any progress whatsoever. Does anyone have any clues what could be causing this issue?
    thanks,
    Peter

    Have you tried setting SMB access to "allow" guest? That is what I had to do so that my XP computers could logon.

  • I just installed Lion OSX. Where can one find the "domain" for iWeb?

    With Snow Leopard one could find the "domain" for one's iWeb in Admin+Library+application support+iWeb. When one changed computers, one simply had to save this domain and then put it in the right place in the new computer. Things have changed with Lion OSX - and I can't find the "domain" for my web site.
    Anyone know where to look (Scripts?)
    Thanks,
    T...

    The reason Apple has hidden the User/Library folder is that there is not longer any reason to get into it what with iWeb (and iDVD) being discontinued and no longer supported. 
    We now know iWeb, and iDVD, have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    If a site is published  to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client to an ftp server subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed will be broken.  If published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    The iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • WDS clients not joining the domain

    Hi all
    Recently set up a 2012R2 server in our domain as a WDS server. After syspreping Win7 x64 with an unattend file and capturing images the machines just don't want to join the domain, after windows install it gets to the "Applying system settings"
    and hangs for 15 minutes (while i assume it tried to join the domain) then eventually restarts but with no domain join, everything else in the unattend file works fine bar the domain join. I've tried with secure join and unsecure join but none work. Using
    no unattend file the domain join works fine.
    I've searched every forum and tried various methods to get this working but still no joy.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks

  • Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.

    Hi
    I am trying to set up an Azure RemoteApp Hybrid solution.
    I have created RemoteApp net and uploaded a custom image and all that is fine.
    When I link my template to my Collection it fails after provisioning for about an hour.
    I recive the following message: Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.
    The join domin works fine and I have tryed with account with different lvl of access to my AD.
    Any suggestion how to solve this?

    Hello Eric,
       I am landing into the same Problem and i read your guidance on this issue. Let me answer it point by point. 
    1. Check the VPN state to ensure it is active or connected state:
    Sundesh:My Azure RemoteApp Virtual Network after successfull S2S configuration shows as Ready. Is that what you mean by Connected State? Earlier to S2S, it was just under connecting state.
    2. Verify your VNET configurations have proper IP address ranges
    Sundesh: The VNET address range, the Local address range and DNS has already been verified twice. In fact the same address ranges(with exception to VNET) are working fine on a VENT config on Azure VM instance. Verified.
    3. Verify your DNS IP configurations are valid, (often this is the problem)
    Sundesh: Yes its done and verified
    4. Verify the credentials entered for domain join are valid.
    Sundesh: Tested these credentials by joining a regular Azure VM to domain and it works there.
    5. Make sure your VPN endpoint that Azure RemoteApp service is connecting to is not blocking traffic.
    Sundesh: Can you please let us know the specific port numbers that we need to consider and i can have it checked with the Network team
    Thanks

  • Can i install creative cloud in both mac and PC? up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud?

    Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

    Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
    Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
    Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
    Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
    Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

  • How many computers can you install the micro soft Office 2011 on.

    How many computers can you install the Micro Office 2011 on?

    A full (retail, single license key) MS Office license permits you to install Office on 1 desktop Mac + 1 portable (laptop) Mac provided 1) you own both computers and 2) you do not use Office simultaneously on both computers.
    Beyond that, it depends on the specific Office package you have.  Some packages have more specific terms.
    For example, if you have MS Office Home & Student 2011 you will have 3 activation keys permitting you to install it on 3 computers, period.  (Not 1 desktop + 1 laptop per license key.)
    The license key pertains to the computer (device) not the number of user accounts on the device.  So, if you have 2 or 3 or more user accounts on your iMac you only need to use 1 license key for the iMac itself.  You apply the license key (activate the software) only in the admin account under which you installed the software.  Once you activate the software in the primary admin account, Office will be usable in all user accounts on the iMac.  Do not try to activate the software under other user accounts on the same Mac - if you do you will unnecessarily use up more license keys.

  • IWeb works, but I can't find the domain file!!!!

    OK - this one has had me stumped for a few days now... I have iWeb (vs. 1.1.2 - from the '06 iLife). I need to find the domain file. It isn't in the home/library/app. support/iWeb folder. I didn't move it. I searched for it using command-F and using spotlight on my computer.
    iWeb is to reset and start from scratch if there isn't a domain file on your hard drive. So I know it's there somewhere (at least, I think it is?). My site is there. I can publish. I can make changes, however I can't find the domain file to make a back up of it. I don't think that I made it invisible - could I have somehow done that? And if so, is it possible to find it? I believ the program only works if the file is named "domain" so I don't think that I could have accidentally renamed it.
    Is there someone out there who can help me? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild the websites.
    Thanks for your input!

    This is from Multisite's Technical Page:
    Technical Information
    While you don’t need to understand how data is stored to use Multisite for iWeb it can be helpful occasionally to understand what is going on behind the scenes. At a nuts and bolts level Multisite for iWeb stores all of its sites in your home folder’s Documents folder in a single package (which is really a fancy folder dressed up to look like a file) called “Multisite for iWeb Data.mfi.”
    You can open that package like this.
    Once you get your domain file straightened out I'd definitely get Varkgirl's Automator application to make frequent backups of that file. You can get it Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

  • Workstations not Joining the Domain after OSD

    I have a sporadic problem happening in my Environment.   OSD Deployments for the most part finish successful , workstation joins the domain with no issues.   At certain locations  occasionally the workstation does not join the
    domain.     Have you seen this happen before?  are there logs on the DC or DP which might explain why this is happening?

    While you are at it grab setupact.log and setuperr.log from two locations, c:\windows\panther and c:\windows\panther\unattendGC. These logs will give more details on why the domain join fails.

  • Can I join the partnership without creating a new website?

    I have a client who already has a business catalyst website, which I would like to edit in Dreamweaver. Can I join the partnership program somehow without having to go through the process of creating a new website which I don't need?
    Also, I am unclear on how to get the dreamweaver extension.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    For DW extension it depends on what version of CS you are working under.  If CS4 or CS5 you'll need to install the plugin. 
    - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/support/dw
    If using the latest CS6 it's already integrated into DW.  - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/dw/templates_video.html
    As far as editing your client's site you can just have the client add you as a site admin.  This will allow you to edit as required. 
    Kind regards,

  • Should I join the domain with my new server 2008 R2 before I run dcpromo ?

    Hi Team,
    Should I join the domain with my new server 2008 R2 before I run dcpromo ?
    Brand new server, 2008 r2. I want it to eventually be my forest root. Should I go ahead and join it to the domain as just a member server and then do all the ? Should I run adprep before I join
    the domain? I'm only asking about member server at this point...before dcpromo.
    Most of the posts I have seen relating to installing Additional Domain Controller (ADC) onto a domain, state that the machine they are starting with is NOT a member of the domain.  In my case,
    the machine I want to make an ADC is already a member of the domain.
