samba - Sep 2013 - Sharing files while being member of an active directory

I've tried this guide :
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Domain_Member

Which as far as i can se is the nearest thing to an official advisory on how to
join a file-sharing host to en active directory.

wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g works, but we cannot access the share from our windows
clients, it prompts for passwords right away.

I can't find any clue in the log files and I'm kinda stranded ? where to
go from here?

Thanks in advance, your doing a great job.

You give almost no information about what's wrong or the details.

What version of Samba? 4.0.?
Did your install go flawlessly, and the new Samba box joined the
domain fine?
What Windows clients, Win7, XP, Vista, Win8, Win95?
Are the windows clients members of the domain?

What is holding the domain, a Samba server or Windows?
What functional level is the domain? (AD 2000, AD 2008R2 etc)

It's not clear to me, you're sharing files from the Samba4 box?

Could you reproduce your smb.conf?

I'm probably not the guy who can help best, but no-one will have the
least idea where to start with what you've *not* provided in terms of
details.

Hi Greg

> You give almost no information about what's wrong or the details.
I think, when you take my question into consideration, that i provided plenty of
information. But i shall try to get a little bit more into the details.
> Did your install go flawlessly, and the new Samba box joined the

As i said in the first mail, "wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g works" ? so yes
the install was flawless and the join procedure worked very well.
> What Windows clients, Win7, XP, Vista, Win8, Win95?
Windows Server 2012
> Are the windows clients members of the domain?
Yes of course
> What is holding the domain, a Samba server or Windows?
> What functional level is the domain? (AD 2000, AD 2008R2 etc)
Windows 2008R2
> It's not clear to me, you're sharing files from the Samba4 box?
It's pretty clear when you look at the referred guide:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Domain_Member
> Could you reproduce your smb.conf?
Yes ? it's in the guide as well:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Domain_Member

Thanks for your insight, but i expect the correct answer to be "You are
following the wrong guide, go here: http://something.com/blah" :-)

Anyway i hope these further details may help others help me ? :-)
