[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

I've installed these packages:

apt-get install samba winbind libnss-winbind libpam-winbind libpam-krb5
krb5-config

Installing on fresh Ubuntu 18.04 server

Nothing is configured yet as following the wikis you come to the DNS
configuration before you get to configuring Samba stuff.

Wiki states: If you are planning to set up a Samba Active Directory (AD) domain
controller (DC) using the BIND9_DLZ back end, you have to install and configure
the BIND DNS server first.

And :  By default, the first Domain Controller (DC) in a forest runs a DNS
server for Active Directory (AD)-based zones. For failover reasons it is
recommended to run multiple DCs acting as a DNS server in a network. If you
consider providing a DNS service on the new DC:
?  For the BIND9_DLZ back end, see BIND9_DLZ DNS Back
End<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/BIND9_DLZ_DNS_Back_End>. Finish this
task before you start the Samba DC service.

I really didn't want to tackle this now but I will as eventually all the
Windows Servers will go away.  I had hoped to migrate things one by one.

I have embarked on learning bind, bind9, etc. now noting all the numerous
details I must follow on wikis to get that going.  I am wondering is the DNS on
the Samba AD DC going to get all the DNS entries from the Windows AD DNS
servers?  I suppose I'll also setup the Samba AD DC as the DHCP server as
that doesn't seem so difficult.

That isn't entirely true, you need to install Bind9 before you
provision with BIND9_DLZ, but you can configure it after the provision
and before you start Samba. >

Yes, every Samba AD DC is a dns server, unless you provision with
'--dns-backend=NONE' and this isn't recommended. You do not have to
use
Bind9, Samba has its own dns server.

Just provision using the internal dns server (the default) and upgrade
to Bind9 later.

It isn't, just follow the wiki page and shout if something goes wrong
(it shouldn't)

Better to do this right the first time, and prevent problems later on.

Its just bit hard to follow imo. 

I suggest read: 
https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/full-howto-Ubuntu18.04-samba-AD_DC.txt

If one has improvements for this setup, tell me i'll adjust it.

I was referring to the dhcp page, were you ?
If so, what is wrong with it ?

[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

Hai, 

Ahh... No i did mean the wiki in general. 
Not that is really wrong, but if you are new to samba and the samba setup, 
the wiki is jumping from page to page, which makes it harder to follow. 
Thats it. 

I would preffer a wiki setup more like this. 
	UserDocu
	- setting up samba as AD DC.
		- Pre os things.
		- Pre samba things ( ntp bind ) 
		- installing samba by package or source.
			- os packages
			- source
		- Use AD backend or RID backend. 
			- AD.
			- RID

		- provisioning samba AD.
		...etc. etc.

	- setting up samba as Domain Member. 
		- Pre os things.
		- Pre samba things
		- install samba
		- joining the domain.		

	- setting up samba as Stand Alone.
		- etc. etc. 

It makes it more readable imo. 
But just my thoughts here, nothing wrong with the info on the wiki. 

Greetz, 

Louis

[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

which samba version, because i've een reports the 4.8 fails and 4.7 fails
but 4.6 should work, and i dont know about 4.9.2

Can you show your /etc/hosts file and /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/krb5.conf

You used : 
samba-tool domain join mydomain.com DC -U"MYDOMAIN\administrator"
--dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL  --option="interfaces=ens2f0"
not wrong, but can you try. 

kinit Administrator
samba-tool domain join mydomain.com DC --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL
--site=MySite --option="interfaces=ens2f0" -k
If that does not work. 
samba-tool domain join mydomain.com DC --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL
--option="interfaces=ens2f0" -k
If not,... 
samba-tool domain join mydomain.com DC --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL -k 
If not, 
samba-tool domain join mydomain.com DC --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL
--realm=YOUR_REALM -k

[Samba] Setup a Samba AD DC as an additional DC

OK, I have been trying to help Barry get Samba to join to a Windows
domain as a DC and we seem to have chased it down to this:

 ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb
Could not find machine account in secrets database: Failed to fetch
machine account password for XXXXX from both secrets.ldb (Could not
find entry to match filter:
'(&(flatname=XXXXX)(objectclass=primaryDomain))' base:
'cn=Primary
Domains': No such object: dsdb_search
at ../source4/dsdb/common/util.c:4702) and
from /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb:
NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception -
(9005, 'WERR_DNS_ERROR_RCODE_REFUSED') File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 177,
in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line 716,
in
run backend_store=backend_store) File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 1500, in

ctx.do_join() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py",
line 1405, in do_join ctx.join_add_dns_records() File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 1110, in
join_add_dns_records del_rec_buf)

He has examined the secrets.ldb and it doesn't contain the ' dn:
flatname=XXXXX,cn=Primary Domains' object, even if he deletes it, it
gets recreated without that object.

I have run out of ideas, I even joined a Samba machine to a
2012 DC (2008 function level) without problem, anybody got any ideas ?
