samba - Jun 2024 - Users appears as SID instead of their own name.

Dear group members.

I have a Samba 4 (4.6.5) running without problems.

Now, using a W2022 server enrolled on the AD, when I add someone from AD
to a local group (like remote desktop group), the user is added but it
appears with their SID instead of name. However the rights are correctly
applied.
Another W2012R2 enrolled on same AD is running fine. All AD objects
included on local group appears correctly

Any idea why is this happening? Can be corrected? Could be a further issue?

Thanks for any help.

Er no, you have one really big problem, Samba 4.6.x went EOL (from the
Samba point of view) nearly six years ago.

You may have a found a bug, who knows, you haven't given us much to
work with, but if you have found a bug, then you have no chance of
getting it fixed in your version, in fact, it may well have been
fixed in a later version.

I suggest you upgrade to a much later version, the versions supported
by Samba are (at the moment) 4.18.x (security fixes only), 4.19.x
(maintenance mode), 4.20.x (full support).
