* Windows 7 needs tweaking:

Open Notepad Copy the following code into notepad:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters]

"DNSNameResolutionRequired"<nowiki>=</nowiki>dword:00000000

"RequireStrongKey"<nowiki>=</nowiki>dword:00000001

"SealSecureChannel"<nowiki>=</nowiki>dword:00000001

*Save the file as a .reg NOT a .txt, and double-click it, select Run if asked to run or cancel, then windows will warn that you are adding things to the registry click yes as it is safe, then click ok, it will get entered into the registry.

* To '''join''' a machine to the domain, it has to be done by logging in once as [[Open_Terminal_as_root|root]]. Unfortunately, Amahi does not currently automatically create a root samba user. Type the following into terminal:

smbpasswd -e root

service smb restart

*This creates a user named root then it enables it, if your running Ubuntu 12.04 you will get a error saying smb: unrecogized service or nmb: unrecogized service, you can restart samba through the dashboard then Setup, then servers, click on Samba and click restart.

* If you havent ran this already

* Open a terminal (set the samba password for the root user. You need to remember this for later!):

smbpasswd -e root

service smb restart

* if your running Ubuntu 12.04 you will get a error saying smb: unrecogized service or nmb: unrecogized service, you can restart samba through the dashboard then Setup, then servers, click on Samba and click restart.

3. Back to windows!

4. Back to Amahi!

* Open a terminal

* Remember the $ on the first line but not the second!

* This code authorizes your computer to connect

now your new smb.conf is beeing generated!

create the following file:

and add the following to it:

net time /set /yes

;Mount a samba share into x:

net use x: \\hda\SOFTWARE /persistent:no

net use y: \\hda\VIDEOS /persistent:no

save the file.

next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.

then select network-id and follow the wizard.

when it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created on the PDC.

Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br>

Login as root:

First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br>

next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with

change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br>

Save your smb.conf

So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:

mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon

Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br>

aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br>

JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br>

Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:

Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br>

this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.

this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br>

Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m,

now its time to restart samba.

Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br>

(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br>

After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)
