 !!error code was NT_STATUS_PIPE_NOT_AVAILABLE (0xc00000ac) 
  
 If you get this error running wbinfo -t, try setting <tt>client schannel = no</tt> in your smb.conf. 
+  
+!!When using wbinfo to test operability <i>Error looking up domain users</i> is returned plus only the <i>builtin</i> groups returned on test  
+I had a lot of trouble finding a solution to this problem and found that once the time was set on the system (ntpd) and the winbind / samba databases were recreated that all worked (this problem first occoured on a VM, hence why the time issue may have triggered the situation).  
+  
+The databases can be recreated by:  
+*Stopping the samba and winbind services  
+*Backing up the samba database (just in case of course)  
+*Rejoining the domain  
+*Restart the samba and winbind services  
+*Reset the Samba authentication (wbinfo --set-auth-user user%password)  
+  
+At this point all started working again. However, please note, <br>  
+A) Time is very important to Active Directory (hence ntpdate or ntpd is important)<br>  
+B) VM's dont work so well with time, hence, not so well with directories (install the vm tools - a service is added to ensure that time is taken from the host system more correctly)<br>
