I believe if you do a search, you will find your answer. A question like this was posted in the past.

I'm not familiar with this so please bear with me.

I've heard of Fedora being able to log on to a domain. System Settings > Authentication.

You need a tool to change stuff, though. This post recommended webmin. In the list of server modules for webmin are a couple PDC tools that might work.

Yup, I already go thru that System Settings > Authentication. But nt really sure how to configure.
For Windows, I enter
Domain Name: test01.test.com
Username: test\marcus
Password: ******

For FC2:
What do I enter for 1)WinBlind Domain & 2)Winblind Domain Controller? What is template shell? And what is the format I need to enter on Domain Administrator in WinBlind when I click join Domain?
I set the security domain to DOMAIN.
Thanks.

I'm sorry I don't know. The answer is probably in the samba documentation, especially the large how to collection
