Dear all I am having trouble administering Samba DC using RSAT on a Windows 10 machine. Installation info: Samba version: 4.14.9 (installed fresh from source on an Ubuntu 20.04). Windows 10 client: Windows 10 Pro (21H1 - OS build 19043.1288) RSAT server manager: Build number 10.0.19041.1 / 12-6-2019 Server manager identifies the server running the "Samba" operating system and then reports "Error - Cannot manage the operating system of the target computer" The Windows 10 client has successfully joined the domain and I am logged in as Administrator at DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM without any problems. DNS is working on the DC, and I am correctly resolving the LDAP and kerberos services as well as the dc name dc1.domain.example.com I've also tried the Ubuntu 20.04 samba version (4.11.6) on a clean install and behavior is the same. Clean installing Samba 4.15 was worse, Administrator could not login, it seems this is a widespread problem for the 4.15, this is why I ended up building the 4.14.9 Does any one have any suggestions? I remember RSAT working fine with earlier Windows and Samba versions.
