Roaming Profile on samba with PDC controller, windows as client

1. Make these change in samba configuration file : emacs /etc/samba/smb.conf
Important terms to understand
a. wins support = yes
b. domain master = yes
c. netbios name = samba
d. workgroup = OFFICE
e. domain logons = yes

2. Samba root access
#smbpasswd -a

3. Add new user :
#useradd prabhat (adding linux user)
#passwd prabhat
#smbpasswd -a prabhat (converting linux user into samba user)

4. On the windows machine,Aadd window machine in 'OFFICE' domain of samba.
On desktop, Right click on "My Computer" -> "properties" -> "Network identificatation" tab -> "change"
while joing it will ask for username password "root" & "OFFICE" (see serial no 2.)


Important Points:
1. There will be one and only one PDC over network.
2. The machine name must be unique over network.
3. While login from client domain name must be 'OFFICE'
