XP is stable, lighter and well known

Ok did fresh install.
Fixed IP
entering domain by entering domain name on the field. Vista ask for admin account. check is ok, welcome to domain. reboot.
Did LTNM trick:
Open the Run command and type "secpol.msc".
Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"
Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it.
By default Windows Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
Getting "The procedure number out of range" when trying to log

Changed [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters]
"RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000000
Getting "The procedure number out of range" when trying to log.

Well seems like vista isn't samba friendly.

Have you got anything non-standard on the SME Server, like the Advanced Samba testing package or some custom Samba templates?

[cyberjuls2]

Nothing.

By the way, just to remind everybody, all XP workstations are loging without a problem on it since long time now.

[David Harper]

... which suggests that, as you said earlier, this is a Vista problem.

Perhaps some new incompatibility introduced in SP1?

EDIT: The OP was using SME 7.2. Are you running the latest and greatest (7.4)?

[cyberjuls2]

No, running 7.1.3 here.

Just finished full backup of SME. will upgrade SME soon as it doesn't look like  there's a solution.

[David Harper]

My guess is that your problem has been resolved upstream, and will be fixed when you have a more recent version of Samba installed. 7.1.3 is almost two years old. It uses Samba 3.0.10, whereas 7.4 uses the much more mature 3.0.28.

EDIT: Confirmed that Vista support was forthcoming at some point after 3.0.14(a). Source - Asianux release notes.

[cyberjuls2]

Updating my sme from 7.1.3 to 7.4.
yum yum yum....

Will tell you if something change.

[cyberjuls2]

Groovyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Done sme update from 7.1.3 to 7.4 via iso CD. no problem at all during installation process. Just rebooting like a charm.
login is now working. logon is maping my drives nicely. Well, i was a bit upset not finding the problem. It was Samba version that was too old.
Thanks for support.

By the way, just did LTNM trick and requiresignorseal to 0.
