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
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"
create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users
we can only guess
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name for the workgroup find_domain_master_name_query_fail
synching mess
turn off csc policy
