I installed opensuse 12.2, and upgraded the samba 3 it came with to samba 4. I successfully joined win xp, win 7 clients to the samba as domain controller but couldn?t join win 8 prof (it keeps displaying domain does not exist message). Does samba 4 really support win 8 prof or we have to wait for some time? Emeka

Please give some more information. That would make it easier to help you. Regards, Marc
The win8 machine is able to resolve the netbios name of the server. ping works fine. I ping the netbios name and it returns the ip address. I attach the 4 screenshots. - the first is the message I get on trying to join the domain - the 2nd -> 4th is just to show the network settings of the client. We normally leave all on default settings. The surprising thing is that win7 and winxp join the domain without problems and use exactly the same network settings as the win8. I send you also my samba 4.x global configuration.

I remember we had the same problem with the samba version that comes with opensuse 11.x and win7, it is only when we installed opensuse 12.x that win7 was able to connect to the samba version. Now the problem is with samba 3.x that comes with opensuse 12.2 and also samba 4.x that is rumoured to support --

I run Samba 4 as AD DC. There XP, 7 and 8 doesn't require any changes to join the domain. If you run Samba in a NT4 style domain, it seems that the DomainCompatibilityMode and DNSNameResolutionRequired changes are still required (at least in this articla about W8 and Samba 3.6.9): http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Linux-with-Windows-8 Does it work if you change this two values?
