Title: adding new Window PC in Samba Server
Post by: geek hoodlum on February 12, 2009, 01:17:22 AM

How to add new PC (OS: Windows XP Pro) in Samba Server (OS: Linux Redhat)?

There's an existing network, all workstations are member of "CSI" Domain.
example:
wks01 - member of CSI
wks02 - member of CSI
wks03 - member of CSI

How do I join this new PC (wks04) in the existing network?

Quote

steps that I found in Google
1) Right mouse click on "MyComputer" and pick "properties.
2) Under the tab "Computer Name" run the "Network Identification Wizard", or more simply use the button "change...".
3) Enter the name of the domain "CSI", as configured in smb.conf file on the Samba Server.
4) Enter the "root' ID and password for the Samba server.  This id will have been previously configured when you setup the Samba server.
5) Reboot

After I do the steps above, do I need to configure something in the Samba Server?

Please advice.

I don't think so. When I rum Samba it finds everything on the network, And gets into things that even Windows does not see!  :o
