samba - Apr 2016 - Samba 3, Windows 7 and printer drivers

Hi,

With Samba 3 and Windows XP, it used to be possible to install he
printer drivers on the Samba server, so when an XP workstation joined
the domain, it would find the printer drivers automatically.

Does such a functionality exists with Windows 7? 64 bits? 32 bits?

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

Yes. Same as Samba 3, actually. And with an Active Directory domain you
can use Microsoft's management UI to add/configure printer drivers.

Sorry, I failed to mention it is Samba 3 + Windows 7. I cannot seem to
make it work the way it worked for Windows XP.

Hi,

using Samba 4.4.2, on the Samba AD server the users have their primary
group at 513 (domain users) but after a non-fixed time they get set to
100, like:


[root at sambaserver:~]# id john
uid=6032(DOMAIN\john) gid=513(DOMAIN\domain users)
groups=513(DOMAIN\domain users),1013(DOMAIN\sales)

<few minutes>

[root at sambaserver:~]# id john
uid=6032(DOMAIN\john) gid=513(DOMAIN\domain users)
groups=513(DOMAIN\domain users),1013(DOMAIN\sales)

<few minutes>

[root at sambaserver:~]# id john
uid=6032(DOMAIN\john) gid=100(DOMAIN\domain users)
groups=100(DOMAIN\domain users),1013(DOMAIN\sales)

then when I "net cache flush" do: they're back at 513... only for
a while.

The Linux workstations always see the users at 513, this only happens on
the Samba server itself. This can happen with intervals of a few
minutes, but I've also seen it being "stable" for a few hours.

any ideas?

thanks,

Gerben

I had similar (ish) issues.

Are you using winbindd and rfc2307 UIDs/GIDs? I had to implement both of
the above on my DC to resolve this. (Neither of which I /wanted/ to do..
but since switching over and running 'net cache flush' etc., the problem
hasn't reoccurred)
