adding windows to domain (zentyal 2.3)

[txsastre]

How could I add a windows XP to a 2.3 server ?

I cannot set a user as "administrator", son when I try to add a machine to the domain, when I set user/pass i says that "unknown user / incorrect password". So I assume a lack of privileges here.

How can I create an user with this rights, I see that it is not implemented via GUI.

thanks !

Taking a wild guess.  Use the user credentials that you log into the Zentyal web interface.  That should work.

Any user that is member of the admin group has 'sudo' rights. With such an account you can do administrative tasks like logging in on the zentyal webgui, create other users or add computer accounts to the Samba Domain.

I've tried this again, using the same administrator & password that I use when I login zentyal GUI, but when I try to add an XP machine to the zentyal domain (zentyla.lan), it says to me that "there is an error : unknown username or incorrect password".

One possible issue is not having the Zentyal server as the first configured dns server on the client in question.

[txsastre]

Don't think so, the client is configuring its IP via DHCP.

Zentyal is the only server in this development LAN

Can you have a look at this post: http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,9755.msg41054.html#msg41054
And report back if it solves your problem?

IE: check if your user is member of group sudo: groups <youruser>
If not, then add the user to the group sudo: adduser <youruser> sudo

I've tried again and i have not luck with that, the windows XP finds the ZENTYAL-DOMAIN, and asks me for an user and password to add the machine to it, but always says me that there is a problem with the name / password of the user.

IE: check if your user is member of group sudo: groups <youruser>
sudo groups tomeu
result : tomeu adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin

If not, then add the user to the group sudo: adduser <youruser> sudo
already done as you can see the result above : adduser tomeu sudo

I have the same problem.

I have found that users and groups service is being held from the time I activated the file sharing sevice.
I could not restart the service, even after reboot.

In Zentyal 2.2 both service are running same time.

I think it's a problem with this version

Sorry for my English

are you using xp pro. Only Windows OS with professional version  can able to join domain.

This has been improved in the git version, but for now you can use the password shown in the File Sharing section.

Hi again.

I've done a new installation, and I have the same problem, again. So I noticed that the "users and groups" service is stopped, is that normal ?

I don't known how to start it.

[jsalamero]

Have you tried to remove users and samba modules and install them again?

apt-get remove --purge zentyal-users zentyal-samba

apt-get install zentyal-users zentyal-samba

[txsastre]

I've tried it, but still says "stopped",

by the way I hope my efforts are useful for development of the new version

at first: i acknowledge  @half_life if you want to have a Workgroup/PDC whit an "NT_Server" you must set up the "NT-Server" (PDC) as the first DNS Server at the XP Client. And sure, only the "Pro" Version can use it.... (MS = buy or die) 

I would make the same whit my GNU/Linux PDC, for safety 

at second: module do not start (again) -> pls, take a look to /var/log/zentyal*.* (zentyal.log or error.log) & connect a Win Client to Zentyal Domain: take a look to /var/log/samba/*.* (you see log files sorted by IP Addresses from Clients) maybe this helps....

good luck!
