XP Client: Domain downgraded from W2K+ to NT4-
ks...@abinitio.com
I am currently running Win2K/AD domain with compatible mode. I
managed to run the vampie procedure to migrate all credentials (SIDs
and passwords) to Samba/PDC of the same domain name with OpenLDAP
backend.
The existing XP clients cannot logon to the the Samb/PDC domain
without re-join the domain because they expect to locate the domain in
Win2K/AD way.
Here is the Event View message from NetLOGON
"The domain of this computer, AB has been downgraded from Windows
2000 or newer to Windows NT4 or older. This computer cannot funtion
prpoerly in this case for authetication purposes. This computer needs
to rejoin the domain. The following error occurred:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request."
logon server is avaialbe (the same Samba/PDC) because a new XP
client can join and logon to the domain with no problem.
The question is how to twist the registry parameter(s) of the XP's
so the existing XP clients will look for a NT4 or orlder style domain
controller and logon server?
According to MS Q314861. NT4 uses discovery to find its domain ...

Any information and suggestion are appreciated. Please response to
