==Background==
Windows 8 was released in december 2012. Due to changes in the way that trust relationships are established with domain controllers, older versions of Samba (need at least 3.6.6) do not allow Windows 8 clients to log in once joined to a domain. see [[bugzilla:7686]]
==Join a SME Server 8.0 Domain with Win8==
Previously you needed to edit your Win8 registry to facilitate the joining of a SME Server Domain, however this can more easily be achieved by importing win7samba.reg fix by using either a usb key or by the network with http.
*Save the Win8 registry patch (win7samba.reg) from https://your-server-ip/server-resources/regedit/ with your favourite web browser
*On your windows desktop, start "regedit" from the start menu and import the win7samba.reg
*Set your domain instead of your workgroup. Add the client machine to the domain as normal.
*When asked on your Windows PC use the 'admin' username and your SME Server admins password.
*You have to reboot your computer to reach the domain
===Slow login with win8 to sme8 domain===
With certain networks you may have an issue with a slow login to the SME Server domain due to a timeout issue on the network. In this case you should apply the following commands to your SME Server as can be found at [[bugzilla:7332]]
The version of package needed e-smith-samba-2.2.0-54.el5.sme is in smeupdates-testing but will shortly be by default in smeupdates so in the first instance verify your package version
rpm -qa e-smith-samba
e-smith-samba-2.2.0-54.el5.sme
You need at least this version as above, otherwise try this
yum update --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing e-smith-samba
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Then you must add a new configuration setting to you smb internal database
config setprop smb WaitForNetwork disabled
signal-event console-save
This is what you need to find in your server-ressources
cat /home/e-smith/files/server-resources/regedit/win7samba.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters]
"DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000
"DomainCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"WaitForNetwork"=dword:00000000
After this you follow the usual way to add a Win7 to the SME DOMAIN, as above [[Windows_7_Support#Join_a_SME_Server_8.0_Domain_with_Win7]]
