samba - Dec 2023 - Joining Windows 10 Domain Member to Samba AD/DC

I'm attempting to join a Window 10 computer as a domain member to a Samba
AC/DC.
I'm trying to use a tool from ForensiT https://www.forensit.com called
Transwiz.
This tool is supposed to join the Windows computer to the domain AND migrate
user profiles from a different domain to the new domain.

I created the domain user on the DC using samba-tool. Then I ran transwiz on
the Windows computer and answered the various questions as to domain name and
user, and it began the process, but ended up with the error:

  "The following error occured attempting to connect to the domain
hprs.locl: The
  RPC server is unavailable."

I started rpc on the DC and tried again, but got the same error.

Supposedly this tool does work with Samba DCs. Any idea what the the problem
could be? It finds the DC just fine.

Thanks --Mark

How did you start 'rpc' ?
On a DC 'rpc' is part of 'server services' and as such should
have been
running.

I think you are going to have to ask forensit for help with this,
unless there is a transwiz user reading this.

I would try and get a detailed log from the client (or at the very
least the very exact time it fails), level 10 log from the server and a
matching network trace from time-syncronised machines.

Then look at what packet is failing and what the server logs say at
that exact time.

Take the capture on the client if you can get a high-res time for the
failure there, or on the server if you can't (to better align the
failure with the server logs).

This sounds like a lot, but even without understanding everything this
often gives really good clues, or something you can digest, sanitise
and post.

Hi,

I used another tool from ForensiT years ago : Profwiz to migrate windows
workstations from an AD to another and upgrade the user profile
accordingly  .
As far as I can say , I have used it to migrate about 300 workstations and
users profile from 2 old Samba AD domains to a new one, and it worked very
well without any specific on the samba side .

It does not help but confirm it should work :)
