Hi, all --
</p>
<p>
I wonder if any of you have succeeded in using an Ubuntu PDC with
Windows 7. I have a network successfully using XP-64 and Ubuntu, and I
would like to "upgrade" the XP to Windows 7. Unfortunately, Microsoft
has added a lot of bells and whistles to the latter, so that it's not
as easy as it used to be. I have found the control dialogues to enable
the Windows boxes to find the PDC and to enable the workstation to
join the domain, but I get the message that the PDC can't be found. I
suspect that there's something else in Microsoft's bells and whistles
that keeps the connection from being made.
</p>
<p>
Thanks.

cheers,
