Windows Server 2008 connecting to leopard SMB PDC

[guitar24t]

I get a strange error when I try to connect my windows server 2008 to my leopard server running a SMB PDC. When I enter the domain, it gives me the box for user name and password. I enter diradmin and the correct password, but it gives me an error saying “The following error occurred attempting to join the domain ‘ssav.com’: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.” I don’t know any other steps to take and enterprise support wants to charge me $695! I can’t afford that! HELP!
By the way, running in virtual machine on server with bridged network. All static ip.
Thanks,
Robert

I want to join the PDC. I did a search on google prior to posting, but I couldn’t find anything useful or that I understood.

This was added to the log after I tried to connect the win2k8 server:

Robert,

If you’re still working on this issue:

I’d been struggling with a similar problem and just stumbled upon a solution that worked for me at http://www.macwindows.com/OSXServer.html#090607d.

Basically, just enter your user name as (PDC IP address)\(user name), like 12.34.56.78\robert.

I hope that helps!

[guitar24t]

Thank you very much for that. I tried logging on Domain\user, workstation\user, and pretty much everything else except ServerIP\User. I have not had a chance to try it, but I have run into that before (with mapping a mac drive to vista, never crossed my mind) and I think it will work.
I’ll post back as soon as I try.
Thanks again!
Robert

Thank you all for your help. Actually, I ended up reinstalling the OS on both of my servers due to other issues and I tried logging in with just USERNAME and PASSWORD and it worked with no errors. I have no idea why and I did not do anything differently (well obviously something but I don’t know what). I never even got to try the suggestion.

Then again, I believe I was having the problem with Win2k8 R1 and this reinstall was just Win2k8? (not sure though).

I can’t believe it, but I had another server I wanted to bind to the domain (win2k8) and this one gave me the same problem when I typed in the domain in all lower case, but when I typed in the name in uppercase, it logged in in less than a second. I tested it to see if it was a computer record thing or not. Well, it was sorta. With the lowercase domain, the computer would not even create the computer record because it gave the authentication error. When it was all uppercase, (the actual domain being SSAV.COM), it worked. I can’t believe the stupid SMB controller is case sensitive and that the case sensitivity would provide an auth error. I’m so mad at Apple for making garbage server products.
(Hopefully, all domains are not case sensitive so I don’t sound like a raving lunatic) 😀
