[Samba] disabling a computer account in Samba AD has no effect (different behavior than with Windows Server) : is it a bug or is it by design ?
Hello, Tests done with Samba 4.13.4 Steps to reproduce : Expected behavior (tests done with a Windows 2012 AD/DC) : 1. Join a new computer to the domain 2. After rebooting the computer, before login, disable the computer account in ADUC (Active Directory Users And Computers) 3. Try to log in with a domain user. ??? As expected, the user cannot log in (message "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship") Now do the same tests with a Samba DC Step 1. and 2. identical At step 3., any domain user can log in the computer, even though the computer account has been disabled Note : it has nothing to do with the logon cache, it's a brand new computer freshly joined to the domain, so the logon cache is empty So, it appears that disabling a computer account in a Samba AD/DC has absolutely no effect. Is this a bug, or is it by design ? And if it's by design, why ? Thanks
