On the old machine we have samba 2.2.5. And on this, both commands do not work. Is it possible that W2k3 requires samba > 3.0 to get connected to the ADS ? -- Regards, Jens Strohschnitter ------------------------------------- *!!!LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX!!!* * http://www.jens-strohschnitter.de * ------------------------------------- Set the controls for the heart of the sun -------------------------------------
