[Samba] Netbios Browsing with 4.1.7 - Can I get some clarification on how to use "internal nbt server" (or if I am even able to)
I have been searching around - I cant seem to figure out if netbios browsing is supposed to work or not. # /usr/sbin/nmbd -F -S nmbd version 4.1.7 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2013 server role = 'active directory domain controller' not compatible with running nmbd standalone. You should start 'samba' instead, and it will control starting the internal nbt server How do I determine if the nbt server is running? (I cannot see my samba 4.1.7 AD server with netbios browsing) Some resources I found in my searching say this simply does not work -- JD Daniels
