I've scanned the whole of the contribs site and found many references to Windows XP SP2, but none relating to SME server 5.6.
Does anyone know if XP-SP2 can log onto an SME5.6 box acting as a domain controller? - and, if not, is there a fix?
Regards,
Dave

Dont know for sure, but I think it is just "the standard registry fix for XP" that has to be performed.

Well, I did lots of Googling and finally found the following. So far it works for me!

Changes for Windows XP to join the Samba Domain
The following steps have to be done with an local administrator or a member of the local Administrators group.
This steps must be done before joining the Samba Domain:
Changes for Windows XP (all versions)
* Start the Administrative Tools (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools). From there start the Local Security Policy.
* In the Local Security Policy open Local Policies and then Security Options.
* Disable the following entries:
o Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (Always)
o Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible)
o Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible)
o Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key
* In the Group Policy Editor enable the following entry:
o Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\do not check for user ownership of roaming profiles folders
Now Windows XP is ready to join the Samba Domain.
