Hi fellows, I've been reading the wiki of Samba but the documentation for version 4 of Samba seems "limited" I have questions about the difference between {Realm} and {Domain} in the configuration file smb.conf. I've followed the wiki to setup the server in this way: samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive Realm [EXAMPLE]: EXAMPLE.COM Domain [EXAMPLE]: EXAMPLE Server Role (dc, member, standalone) [dc]: dc DNS backend (SAMBA_INTERNAL, BIND9_FLATFILE, BIND9_DLZ, NONE) [SAMBA_INTERNAL]: DNS forwarder IP address (write 'none' to disable forwarding) [172.25.100.2]: Administrator password: Testing the service: root at arrugas:/etc/samba# smbclient -L localhost -U Administrator Enter Administrator's password: Domain=[EXAMPLE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.17-Debian] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- netlogon Disk sysvol Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 4.1.17-Debian) Domain=[EXAMPLE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.17-Debian] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master Seems that everything is Ok, but, there is something that i consider a problem. Despite joining a Windows XP or Windows 7 into the domain "EXAMPLE" the computer name is: PC1.example.com And the authentication for users is: EXAMPLE\User - or - EXAMPLE.COM\User Both work. Anyway, the problem is, i want the domain in the description of computer propierties to be "EXAMPLE" just that, not "EXAMPLE.COM" but there's no way to make the Realm and the Domaing option to be the same. ?Is there anyway to approach to the result i want? Thank you.
