samba - Sep 2016 - Failed to find sambaDomain object to get sambaAlgorithmicRidBase

The users are not part of an existing AD domain.  The setup is rather
simple, I have to migrate all the users in a new environment.  We need to
centralized authentication, the reason of LDAP, and access shares from our
Windows workstation.  I hope I am clear enough regarding our setup.

OK, it sounds like you should set up an Active Directory domain,
anything else will be using old technology. It seems that Microsoft is
trying to make the use of NT4-style domains unusable with Windows 10.

I would not recommend setting up a new NT4-style domain, if you do
decide to go for a domain, then go for a an AD domain.

Out of interest, how many users and how many windows workstations ?

Rowland

Ok, then I have to find up about how to build an AD domain.

About 60 users with one workstations per user.
