My samba version is 4.15.6.Why not try it? If it works, update the wiki. ? It's the weekend, so this is just from memory, but while we did a pile of work on our 'adprep' reimplementation (using the public script files MS published, thanks MS!), to allow this, and before that recommended going via a MS server to run their adprep, Microsoft fixed some bugs we alerted them to. That I understand now allows a join directly.

Hi Andrew, I have joined my windows AD to samba AD successfully. But, when I change one user's password in windoiws AD. the password was not synced to other samba AD DCs. Is this a compatibility issue? ? 2022/3/19 12:57, Andrew Bartlett via samba ??:> On Sat, 2022-03-19 at 09:24 +0800, Adam Xu via samba wrote: >> Hi samba list, >> >> accroding to samba wiki, >> https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2012_/_2012_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD >> >> Windows server 2012 R2 can't join to samba AD directly.
