Hi guys,
I'm really sorry for posting this as I'm sure it's been discussed
quite a lot, but after searching(on google) for a definite up to date
answer I still can't seem to get confirmation.
I'm running my PDC using samba-3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2 under RHEL 5.7, with
openldap-2.3.43-12.el5 with a non roaming profiles fileserver with
domain logons.
We have mixed clients, Windows XP,7, 2003, 2008 and now 1 Windows 8
Pro Laptop, a total of about 300 users.
We've tried the usual Windows 7 registry edits(after reading a few
posts) to get the Windows 8 to join the domain without any success.
I've a topic which seems to indicate disabling smb2 on the client
which has been done(according to the onsite IT guy) with no luck.
I saw a mention of setting...
max protocol = smb2
min protocol = smb2
in the smb.conf, but not sure if this actually solves the problem. The
latest samba release via the RHEL5 repo's is 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8 so not
sure if this will even have any affect without upgrading to the latest
3.6 release.
I realise that Samba4 will have full Windows 8 support, however we are
a long way off to upgrading to Samba 4 yet.
Does Samba 3 support Windows 8 Pro machines, or is this still an ongoing issue?
Thank you.
Regards.
Neil Wilson.
