Hi There, I've searched and searched. Then searched some more. Came up with nothing. So here I am. I installed Samba as a PDC as per the HowTo, here: http://www.tiltingatlinux.com/2014/04/basic-samba4-domain-controler-on-ubuntu.html Thing is: The workgroup isn't coming out right: $ smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu) sysvol Disk netlogon Disk Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP MYHOST But: $ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN realm = mydomain.com netbios name = MYHOST server role = active directory domain controller dns forwarder = 127.0.0.1 [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/mydomain.com/scripts read only = No [sysvol] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol read only = No Can somebody lend me a Clue? Thanks, Jim

I'm running bind9. The server is also the primary (only, actually) nameserver on the LAN.

I'm confused as to why any of that would affect how smbd advertises what workgroup it's in? Thanks, Jim
