Hi All, I am using Samba4 Alpha12, and i am trying to edit the password policy (which I believe is derived from the PDC's policy), but I am trying to figure out whether Samba4 can respond to GPOs. If It cannot, how would I define the password policy for the domain? Thanks.

Hi! I am currently using Samba4 Alpha13 but I have not been able to change a users password. I curently can add a user using ldbadd and a ldif file but I would like to know the recommended way of changing a users password. It would be nice if it could be done from the adminstrator account so that you do not need to know the original password. Thanks for the help! MS

Hello, I have successfully installed SAMBA4 Alpha12 as PDC. I added two machines. Ubuntu 11.04 Linux and Windows 7. They both can authenticate and log in to the machines. WHich is great. The problem comes when users trying to change their password. This is not working! It's constantly complaining for the complexity. However I used strong and absolutely different to any previous password.

I have a question about bad password lockout. Net pwsettings has settings for Complexity, Password history Length, Minimum password length, Minimum password age, and Maximum password age. But I can not see how to set a bad password login attempts. Can this be set using a group profile? Getting ready to use samba 4 for authentication purposes but really...

Hello all; I use samba 4.7.2 in a CentOS 7.5 proxmox container. Is there a way to know the password structure for a domain? I mean, the number of characters that must use the password, to set the use of password requiere complexity structures, to set the number of days before the change of the password, etc. How I can see this?

I have used the Samba4 Howto as a guide. I am using OpenSuse 11.3 and the Samba version is: 4.0.0alpha15-GIT-61f7d7c. Everything was working as intended after installation. I did a fresh install on another computer of Windows 7. Joined my freshly made domain. Installed the remote administration tools. Created three users for testing with the remote admin tool - "Active Directory Users and
