=========================================================================
+Item Number: 2.0
+Description: Problems with MS Windows NT Server network logon service
+Symptom: Loss of Domain Logon Services and failed Windows NT / 95
+ logon attempts.
+OS: All Unix systems with Windows NT Domain Control environments.
+Platform: All
+Date: February 1, 1997
+Submitted By: John H Terpstra <jht@aquasoft.com.au>
+Details:
+ Samba is configured for Domain logon control in a network
+ where a Windows NT Domain Primary Controller is running.
+
+ Case 1:
+ The Windows NT Server is shut down, then restarted. Then
+ the Samba server is reconfigured so that it NO LONGER offers
+ Domain logon services. Windows NT and 95 workstations can no
+ longer log onto the domain. Ouch!!!
+
+ Case 2:
+ The Windows NT Server which is running the Network logon
+ Service is shut down and restarted while Samba is a domain
+ controller offering the Domain LogOn service. Windows NT
+ Workstation and Server can no longer log onto the network.
+
+ Cause:
+ Windows NT checks at start up to see if any domain logon
+ controllers are already running within the domain. It finds
+ Samba claiming to offer the service and therefore does NOT
+ start it's Network Logon Service.
+
+ Windows NT needs the Windows NT network logon service to gain
+ from it's Domain controller's SAM database the security
+ identifier for the user loging on.
+
+Work-around: Stop the Samba nmbd and smbd processes, then on the Windows
+ NT Primary Domain Controller start the Network Logon Service.
+ Now restart the Samba nmbd and smbd services.
