FAQ
Cannot update roaming profile
Usually because a file is in use, check out
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs
Windows complaining about wrong rights on profile

No security tab in Explorer
Windows did not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security
profile acls = yes
Can't join domain
close all shares log in to windows, no anonymous 'login'
on access virus scanning
smbmount
mount -t smbfs -o username=someuser //servername/sharename /mnt/sharename/
If you get very vague warnings on debian this means you didn't install one of many smb* packages, probably smbfs
Windows cannot connect to the domain, etc..
Switch to workgroup, set system name first, reboot, join domain again, reboot.
win2k: Error joining domain: User name could not be found
means samba couldn't find MACHINE name, probably a failing add machine script? also check /var/log/samba/log.machinename for Get_Pwnam and "add machine"
