Is it still possible to join a Windows 2012 Server R2 system as a member to a 'pre-NT5' Samba (3.6.23) domain controller? The Windows 'Domain Change' GUI errors immediately after failing the SRV lookup for the AD server. Even with the SRV record in place, the GUI fails trying to connect to the non-existent LDAP port. Netdom on the command line tries to work if the DC name

All, I've got a Samba 3 PDC serving numerous XP clients, and I'm getting an error I wouldn't have expected. When trying to rename an XP machine joined to the domain (via "netdom renamecomputer"), the command fails unless the specified domain user has UID 0. The command in question: netdom renamecomputer %COMPUTERNAME% /newname:%NEWNAME% /userD:DOMAIN\USER

I don't have anything but Server 2003, 2008 and 2012 to test with. 2003 joins the domain without issue. 2008 and 2012 will not. The registry has been updated on both: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] "DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000

Hi, all Tell me, please, how to establish outgoing REALM trust with Samba4 from Windows? It is possible? On Samba4 side I have created user with name fqdn-of-windows-host and password fqdn-of-windows-host-password and then samba-tool spn add host/fqdn-of-windows-host fqdn-of-windows-host On Windows side I have executed: ksetup /addkdc SAMBA-REALM samba-fqdn What to do then? netdom trust

Wwe are doing some testing in preparation for our migration from Samba 3.6 to Samba 4.x. Because we must share networks with other groups, we want to use the "hosts allow" parameter in smb.conf to restrict who can connect to our Samba domain. This works great in 3.6. I'm unable to get it to work with 4.1.16. That is, I'm unable to join a Windows 7 PC to the Samba 4

We have bumped into a most odd problem. Server: Debian Etch and their Samba 3.0.24-2 Client: WinXP SP2, MSI v3, all hot fixes The following settings are in place on the server: #!/bin/bash # # initGrps.sh # Map Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin rid=512 type=d net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users"
