I am trying to find a good guide for setting up the smb.conf and can't seem to find anything. Here's what I have been trying to do and it hasn't been working correctly. We had a Windows Server 2003 DC. I had to upgrade it because of some problems we were having and upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2. After that, my Samba 3 with Winbind file server quit authenticating to the AD domain and try as I might I couldn't get it to work. This is largely because even though we have a perfectly good DC, all of our workstations are just in a giant workgroup (and management just won't give in and let me change it). After playing with Likewise and samba for a bit I gave up that bag and thought I would give Samba4 a try. So far I am really liking what I am seeing. I realize that we are still in beta land, but what we have so far may just work for what I want to do. I have been trying to find a good guide to configure the smb.conf file but haven't really found anything. By the way, successful install on ubuntu 10.04 x64 server that formally had samba 3 and winbind on it that were installed from aptitude. Any help would be appreciated. Ben

Of course I don't really see how joining Samba 4 to the domain will help get Samba 3 working :) Perhaps you should provide more details on what is going wrong with Samba 3 <-> Win2k8r2.> By the way, successful install on ubuntu 10.04 x64 server that formally had > samba 3 and winbind on it that were installed from aptitude.Do you mean that you installed Samba 4 from the Ubuntu repositories? If so, rather install from Git or perhaps Alpha 14 as per the Samba 4 HOWTO.> Any help would be appreciated.The samba-technical mailing list is currently the best place to ask about issues with samba 4. -- Michael Wood <esiotrot at gmail.com>
