Greetings, We've been testing Sernet Samba AD and are running into trouble with the RPC server unavailable message when trying to edit group policy and manage users with Windows 8.1. Upon restarting the service, we can connect to the RPC server, but after 24 hours or less, we can no longer connect. I've been trying to find more information about this issue, which was apparently fixed awhile back, but I can't really find much on it. Please let me know how I can help resolve this issue. Our smb.conf is as follows: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = AVALON realm = AVALON.LOCAL netbios name = LOCALHOST server role = active directory domain controller server services = rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, smb dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, wkssvc, rpcecho, samr, netlogon, lsarpc, spoolss, drsuapi, dssetup, unixinfo, browser, eventlog6, backupkey, dnsserver, winreg, srvsvc idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes #kerberos method = system keytab [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/avalon.local/scripts read only = No [sysvol] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol read only = No [Users] read only = No path = /var/samba/Users -- Asai Lohmann Software Engineer, Sysadmin Global Change Media, Non-Profit Media Company Helping People Bring Their Positive Ideas and Services to the World office: 520.398.2542 cell: 520.260.6887 skype: asaivan1 asai at globalchange.media
Try to give your samba server another NetBIOS hostname than localhost and comment out the lines with server services and dcerpc endpoint servers. Check your DNS back end. For now it seems due to your smb.conf that you are not using the samba internal DNS server. It's not a must have, but samba does not provide dns. NetBIOS name should be equal to your DNS hostname. After that restart samba and see what happens. Regards Tim Am 19.

For now it seems due to your smb.conf that you are not using the samba internal DNS server. It's not a must have, but samba does not provide dns. NetBIOS name should be equal to your DNS hostname.If you are using Bind as the DNS nameserver, **DONT** comment out the server services line, you will turn on the internal DNS server! If 'LOCALHOST' is indeed the hostname of your AD DC, then you will need to change this, though as you are just testing it might be quicker and easier to re-provision Also you seem to be using ntvfs instead of s3fs, do you really want to do this?
