Need help integrating Samba into a Windows Domain.
« on: July 02, 2010, 04:24:57 PM »

So I have the task of integrating our businesses first Linux server into the network.
My success or failure in this project will determine whether we use more linux in the future or scrap linux and continue using microsoft products.

This Server is running Ubuntu 9.01 loaded with Samba and Likewise-Open.

This server must be able to join the domain for the shares to be established.

Your mission, should you chose to accept is to help me establish a samba shared folder on the network available to all Microsoft users.

I joined the domain successfully according to the server however I cannot see the Ubuntu machine on the network. I can ping it but something is wrong.

Where should I start looking to find out what is broken?

I can definitely see why Linux is less popular than windows, aside from the steeper learning curve. If you are the only admin who is on the project and you get stuck you pretty much only have the forums and It's very difficult to find a forum where people will offer advice.

To resolve your problem, I request you to share your configuration file. Also check your firewall rule.
