Here is the scenario: AD-authentication is functioning fine. I can query users and group info from wbinfo and getent just fine. The clients can map to the shares, but cannot write to the shares.

Good day All I am re proposing this topic as it keeps happening in our enviroment and is creating some trouble now. I have 1 samba file share server, and a different samba4 AD server. the file server has been recently updated to Ubuntu 14 and its native samba 4.1.6.
