I am starting a MCSE course and part of it is to create and configure a domain etc etc I have done this and all my windows XP and 7 machines on my LAN are now functioning as part of the domain just great.
Unfortuntely, I have several Open suse machines which are currently not part of the domain yet (they are in a basic Workgroup).
can someone please help me to get these computers onto the domain so that a user can log on using their domain credentials and I can apply security policies and what not?
Sorry but I can’t see any options on that website for how to join an open suse machine into a Windows active directory - although it’s possible after the day I am having here today that I simply can’t see it lol!

Take a look at
/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manuals_en/manual/book.security.html
on your machine
Chapter 5 (Active Directory Support)

sorry, i’m not so familiar with windows terminology like “join an
active directory” i thought it meant sharing files, browsing the
directory tree on other machines on the local network and kinda thing…
those are some of the things that samba does…i think it lets
Redmond and the penguin talk back and forth…
what else do you need?
HEY! i remember that Redmond made a big deal out of the new
interoperability capability with their software and Novell’s
linux…so, what did they tell you to do when you asked on a MS
forum…heh
