[Samba] Eventlog not viewable from Windows in domain member config
I've configured a domain member server using version 4.4.7 on FreeBSD. I'm able to manage groups and shares from the Computer Management tool on a Windows 2008 server, but when I connect to the samba member server the following error occurs: Event Viewer cannot connect to computer 'XXXXXX'. The error reported is : The RPC server is unavailable. Clicking OK allows me to proceed. To get rid of the message I've tried configuring an event log and saving a message. Accessing the log information locally using eventlogadm seems to work. Using rpcclient I can get the number of log entries. Other commands don't generate errors but don't output any information. Running rpcclient eventlog commands with debug 10 shows a lot of appropriate looking activity. Running a packet trace while loading the event viewer on the Windows server shows registry queries but no event log specific DCERPC request. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] printcap name = /dev/null load printers = no strict sync = yes reset on zero vc = yes deadtime = 15 hide dot files = no force unknown acl user = yes guest account = guest kernel oplocks = no log level = 1 eventlog list = Application Security System logging = syslog file at 0 vfs objects = zfsacl streams_depot nfs4:chown = yes ea support = yes streams_depot:delete_lost = yes store dos attributes = yes veto files = /:STREAM/ registry shares = yes idmap config * : backend = autorid idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000 idmap config * : range = 1000000-19999999 create mode = 0664 directory mode = 01775 security = ads workgroup = DVTAD realm = DVTAD.LOCAL Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give.
