similar to: Adminstrator Domain SID?

Hello again, Here one more post to get my roaming profiles work. I want to change the SID of the Samba 3.0.22 PDC following this description: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html#id2600168 Results: first root# net getlocalsid <error, which I can't remember or produce> next step: root# net setlocalsid SID_WANTED root# root# net getlocalsid SID

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

Hello guys, as subject says, i've got problem with it. And because i'm in preparation of migration of users form Samba PDC with passdb.tdb backend ot LDAP backend, i need to be 100% clear on it. I can't find the reference to it anywhere, so if anyone can point me in the right way ..? What is confusing for me? I'll explain on example: 1. Scenario: Existing Samba PDC server

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Guys, We have a Samba 4 PDC with TDB backend. We're now trying to a BDC so we need to migrate from TDB to LDAP . I've read the Samba documentation which says using tdb in both servers will cause issues. So the question is how do we migrate from TDB to LDAP in the PDC. The setup we are going for is each DC will have LDAP setup. The LDAP servers will then be replicated. Reading the official

section 13.3.2 of the HOWTO shows that i can add a user to a group with the following command: root# net rpc group addmem "MIDEARTH\Engineers" ajt -Uroot when i execute this command (replaced with my server specific values, of course), i get a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER error. i can verify that my user DOES exist and that he belongs to the posix group account. i can also verify that the

Hi, my problem is the following: i am trying to replace an old SUSE 8.2, Samba 2.2 domain controller with a SUSE 9.3 system with samba 3.0 as PDC. Everything works fine, i can join the new domain, i replaced the machine and domain sid from the new server with the old ones. But how can reuse the profiles from the old machine at the new one? If i make a simple remote copy, the settings of the

Hi. I realized that I have a problem with the users SID. Thy are different between the SID of the domain. Let's see the output of these commands: server:/home/utenti/user# net getlocalsid SID for domain SERVER is: S-1-5-21-1375271547-2371556575-3111006354 server:/home/utenti/user# pdbedit -Lv test Unix username: test NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID:

Hello I have a client who historical had a machinename with an underscore in it : samba_machine I had to get rid of the underscore names and changed the name to samba-machine. At the same time I upgraded to samba-3.0.11 to get a printer queue problem resolved. Now it seems the Domain SID has changed, so I changed the new SID back to the old one with net setlocalsid, because on all machines I had

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema. My problem is that I cannot set the old SID (samba 2.2.8) to the new samba 3.0.12 for that the clients can authentificate to pdc server. samba2.2.8> smbpasswd -S LDAP Successfully set domain SID to

Hi, I'm new on Samba... I'm trying to set a samba server with a DFS share. I have found this example: # The smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = SAMBA host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /export/dfsroot msdfs root = yes then I must create some link into /export/dfsroot: root# cd /export/dfsroot root# chown root /export/dfsroot root# chmod 755 /export/dfsroot root# ln -s

Hello. I went and copied the config files from <source>/etc/samba/* and <source>/var/cache/samba/* to the target server and deleted the browse.dat and wins.dat files. The source and target servers have different IPs and hostnames, so we use "netbios alias". This has worked fine a couple of years ago. Now after all files have been copied, the old server shut down and the new

Hi, I'm trying to get my new samba server running for a few days now and I start losing my mind over not figuring out what I'm doing wrong. Here's my setup: OpenLDAP 2.4.21 server with ~15 groups and >100 users, all having a unix and a samba NT password stored in the LDAP as well as a User SID and Primary Group SID assigned and stored in the LDAP, derived from the SID of the LDAP

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID

Hi All, I am going through a setup of a test samba3 box with rh9 with my self rolled copy of 3.0.10. I have removed the old rpm version of samba. I compiled 3.0.10 with all defaults except for the install prefix which I set to /usr/local/samba3. I followed the steps given in Chap 6 - making users happy in the online html version. I changed a few things. Instead of MASSIVE as the PDC name I

I have a domain with Samba 3 acting as PDC, and using LDAP (passdb backend = ldapsam). I now wanted to add a second Samba 3 machine as a simple file server. I get errors with getdomainsid and getlocalsid, so there is obviously still something wrong with my config. The PDC runs Samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. Sid queries return: # net getdomainsid SID for local machine MY_PDC_HOST is:

Short background : Due to Windows Seven deplaoyment we have to upgrade Samba 3.0 to Samba 3.4 (actually less version but I see no reason not to go directly to 3.4). And due to SQL backend support aborted we have to switch from SQL backend to LDAP backend. What I have in mind to do this migration is the following : -install samba 34/OpenLDAP (I also change the machine in the meantime)

`net getlocalsid` prints "Can't fetch domain SID for name: MYMACHINE" How could I solve?
