Windows 7 was released in October 2009. Due to changes in the way that trust relationships are established with domain controllers, older versions of Samba do not allow Windows 7 clients to log in once joined to a domain.
Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. If you are still using Windows 7, your PC may become more vulnerable to security risks. The only Microsoft-supported Windows version now is Windows 10. We strongly recommend you do not use versions of Windows unsupported by Microsoft.
Windows 7 was released in October 2009. Due to changes in the way that trust relationships are established with domain controllers, some modifications to the windows registry needs to take place.
==Join a SME Server 8.0 Domain with Win7==
==Join a Window 7 client to SME Server 8 or 9==
Previously you needed to edit your Win7 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.

In order to have logon script working you must add the following Keys in registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths]
"\\\\*\\netlogon"="RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0"
If you are using SME Server as a domain controller and the workstations have joined the 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 install a second patch (in first you have to install the win7samba.reg). The history of this patch can be found at [[bugzilla:7332]]
