How to add windows workstation in Wheezy?

[Arne Sørli <arne.sorli@kongsberg.frisurf.no>]

Hi!

I have a fresh install of  Debian Edu 
7.1+edu0~b0. I have added some users and everything seems to work fine.

But I need to add some Windows workstations 
(Windows XP) to the domain, and reading the 
documentation I'm not quite sure how to do it. I 
gave it a try, but I only get error messages when I try to join the domain.

In the 
documentation, 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/GettingStarted#Machine_Management_with_GOsa.2BALI- 
, I found this: "Another important part of 
machine configuration is the 'Samba host' flag 
(in the 'Host information' area). If you plan to 
add existing Windows systems to the Skolelinux 
Samba domain, you need to add the Windows host to 
the LDAP tree and set this flag to be able to 
join the Windows host to the domain." How do I do 
this in Gosa? I can't find any Host information 
area or any Samba options under Systems.

I was also unsure which NIS netgroups I should 
add the workstation to (ended up with all-hosts, 
winstation-hosts and workstation-hosts).

Here is what I have done:

  1. Added the PC using Gosa. Selected System, 
Action, Create, Workstation. Filled in form with:
       Workstation name: static21
       IP-address: 10.0.2.121
       MAC-address: the PC's MAC-address
       Enable DHCP with default values
       Enable DNS with default values
       Set mode to "activated" and pushed "OK-button"

  2. Added NIS netgroups all-hosts, winstation-hosts and workstation-hosts.

  3. sudo smbpasswd -e Administrator , according 
to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/HowTo/Samba

  4. Verified that windows hostname of PC is 
static21, same as registered in Gosa. Also 
verified that the PC get the correct IP-address 
after booting (10.0.2.121) and that I can browse \\TJENER in explorer.

  5. At step 5 in chapter 1.2.2 Joining the 
SKOLELINUX Domain with Windows XP (from link 
above): When I enter SKOLELINUX\Administrator as 
username and root password I get the error 
message: "The user name could not be found". I 
have also tried with lowercase administrator, 
first login user and root user. None of them works.

And there I'm stuck. I have obviously done 
something wrong, but I don't know what. I hope 
some of you can help me with his.
