<strong>2.4</strong>.2 How to join domains with Windows clients<br />

<strong>2.4</strong> Joining domains<br />

The procedure for joining a Windows system to a <strong>UCS</strong> domain made available via Samba is now described<br />

for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Server and Windows NT 4.0<br />

Workstation. The process is similar for other Windows versions. For Windows 95/98/Me/XP Home Edition<br />

only the authentication against a domain is possible; not the joining into a domain.<br />

A Samba account can be created automatically for a computer in the LDAP directory when joining the do-<br />

main - i.e., a Windows-type computer object - which only contains the computer name and the predefined,<br />

primary group. The <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variable samba/defaultcontainer/computer<br />

can be used to specify a container in which the computer is stored (the predefined value is<br />

cn=computers,). If the computer object should be saved at another place in the LDAP direc-<br />

tory, the Windows computer must be entered with <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager before the domain joining<br />

(see also Chapter 8.4.4). Information concerning MAC and IP addresses, the network, DHCP or DNS can<br />

be expanded on prior to or after joining the domain with <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager.<br />

Then, following local log-in as an administrator, the instructions of the Windows version used should be<br />

followed (see below).<br />

Attention:<br />

If the computer name is changed via Hostname, the computer must be restarted before the domain join<br />

can go ahead. The computer name must match that entered via <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager in the<br />

LDAP directory.<br />

Joining the domain takes some time and the process must not be cancelled prematurely. After successful<br />

joining a small window appears with the message Welcome to the domain . This should<br />

be confirmed with [OK]. The computer must then be restarted for the changes to take effect.<br />

Domain names must be limited to 15 characters as they are otherwise truncated at the Windows client and<br />

this can lead to log-in errors.<br />

<strong>2.4</strong>.2.1 Windows 7<br />

The joining of domains is only possible with the Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate editions of Windows<br />

7.<br />

When using Windows 7 certain settings must be made in the Windows registry before joining the domain.<br />

A corresponding REG file can be downloaded from http://sdb.univention.de/1102. The system<br />

must then be restarted.<br />

The basic configuration dialogue is found under Start ➞ Control Panel ➞ System and Security ➞ See<br />

the name of this computer . Change settings must be selected and Change clicked under Computer<br />

name, domain, and workgroup settings.<br />

The Domain option field must be ticked and the name of the Samba domain entered in the input field for<br />

the domain join. After clicking on the [OK] button, the Administrator must be entered in the input field<br />

Name and the password from uid=Administrator,cn=users, transferred to the Password<br />

input field. The process for joining the domain can then be started by clicking on [OK].<br />
