[Samba] Samba4 - Win7 RSAT tools - global catalog (GC) cannot be contacted
Fresh install of 4.0.6 from source on CentOS 6 minimal. Provisioning worked fine as did adding a Win7 Pro machine to the domain. Now trying to use the RSAT (Remote System Administration Tools), specifically the Active Directory Users and Computers tool. When looking at the properties for the "Administrator" account, clicking on the "Member Of" tab results in a 30 second wait, then the error message of "global catalog (GC) cannot be contacted". Once I click through the error message, it displays the groups that the account is a member of. Config file is: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = EXAMPLE realm = HQ.EXAMPLE.COM netbios name = ATHENS server role = active directory domain controller dns forwarder = 172.30.0.1 [netlogon] path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/hq.example.com/scripts read only = No [sysvol] path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol read only = No My guess is that this is an iptables error, although I followed the instructions on the wiki to open up the appropriate ports. Not sure what port/protocol I missed. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_your_firewall /etc/sysconfig/iptables: # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.7 on Fri May 24 21:51:36 2013 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [48:6932] :NFSCHECK - [0:0] -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 135 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 464 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 464 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 636 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1024 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j NFSCHECK -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A NFSCHECK -s 172.30.0.0/24 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 2049,32803,892,662,111 -m comment --comment "TCP for nfs, lockd, mountd, statd, portmap" -j ACCEPT -A NFSCHECK -s 172.30.0.0/24 -p udp -m multiport --dports 2049,32769,892,662,111 -m comment --comment "UDP for nfs, lockd, mountd, statd, portmap" -j ACCEPT -A NFSCHECK -j RETURN COMMIT # Completed on Fri May 24 21:51:36 2013

I added it to the Wiki page, too. Wether something else is missing, you can see, if you check on which ports the Samba daemons are listening: # netstat -taunp | egrep "tcp.*LISTEN|udp" | grep "samba|smbd" Regards, Marc
