I just migrated my SMB pdc to a new server (was running 3.0.21c, now 3.0.22). Some things seems to be ok. net rpc list; net rpc testjoin seem to work. But if I attempt to join a windows system to the domain I get "The following error occured while attempting to join to domain "DOMAINNAME": The user name could not be found". The machine name is getting loaded into ldap.

Several users keep asking for a similar setup, and I'm wondering if there's a way to achieve it with a single samba share. They'll ask for a single share drive the has multiple subdirectories with each subdirectory having different permissions based on groups. So say you have a share called COLOURS and inside that share are three subdirectories, RED, GREEN and BLUE. Group1

I have the following setup: PDC: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC1: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC2: Samba 3.4.3 on Solaris 10 Samba 3.0.37 is the bundled version of Samba. Samba 3.4.3 is compiled from source. BDC2 is a recent addition to the network. All machine use LDAP as the backend for everything. They use winbind to handle a domain trust with another domain, but otherwise

in both methods tried, we can't successfully add xp machines to the domain at the remote locations main samba is on our main campus, behind a 10.10 internal lan remote samba's are on remote campuses, behind a 10.xx network 10.11 10.12 all connected with our internal lan via VPN ###################################################################### Method 1) ALL PDC's, using same ldap

Hi, I installed a SaMBa PDC and a BDC. When I log in to an XP client with a new user, sometimes I get the initial profile settings from the netlogon share, but often from local. When I get the local default settings, it is not syncronized to the server at logout. Even if I get the new profile from the server, on the same client, next time, with a new user, I get the new profile from local. I

I have a samba domain with a Samba 3.4.x PDC (compiled from source on Solaris 10) and two Samba 3.0.x BDC's (Sun-bundled Samba on Solaris 10.) XP clients use DHCP. When on the LAN, DHCP includes WINS server (the WINS server is one of the Samba 3.0.x machines.) We also have a VPN for remote client access for Windows XP machines. XP machines could include home PC's (not in the domain)

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

Hi All, I've seen a few messages similar to my problem, looking back through the mailing list but the issue I'm having is a little more unique. We have a user, who uses both wireless and wired connection. He uses truecrypt, that has the encrypted file sitting on a samba share. What I think is happening is he will unplugged his wired connection and move to a meeting room and connect

I've got a somewhat special domain (servers only, no clients, for unified passwords stored in ldap and unix passwords are in there too), and I'm looking at my directory and there are a few things I don't quite understand, or that I need some clarification on.. 1) these "Domain Admins" and "Domain Guests" and "Domain Computers" groups.. do they NEED

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

Hello I have a network setup with one Samba PDC and two Samba BDCs separated by routers (ref http://www.cybersource.com.au/users/mikef/samba/). In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers. I can't get the Windows XP client to change a

Hi guys and girls, A client of mine is seriously investigating migrating their 7 NT servers and 3000+ users to Linux running Samba. I've read one or two documents so far about the migration, but I'm still a little unclear about a number of things. When you have a chance I'd really appreciate your guidance on the following items. 1.) LDAP, /etc/passwd or MySQL backend (if supported).

I've almost got it. I swear I've almost got it (and I've been doing a lot of swearing lately). I re-built my PDC, starting from scratch. I'm not using the editposix extensions anymore - I'm using the smbldap tools as shown (I think) in the Samba by Example. I really really thought I did everything right. Obviously I was wrong. What works - all my workstations and

Hello everyone, the time for me to use a OpenLDAP server is getting closer ( :( yikes..I'm still scared sorta) , I currently have a Samba PDC with tdbsam with 50 users goes fine, our company will grow (doing our best) in this year by a minimum of 25-30 computers, and I've stuided the TOSHARG , and it says that for every 50 computer a bdc is suggested. The questions : 1.how does

Hi, We have an old domain with a samba-3 PDC and LDAP backend in our HQ and two BDC in our branch offices. Since we don't use the domain in our HQ anymore and one of the branches will be moved to our new domain (2003/2008) I'm thinking about decomissioning the PDC and promote both BDCs as PDC for their branch offices and networks. I would also get rid of LDAP. Changing the backend to

Morning everyone. I have a question about something i've been thinking about lately. I recently rolled out a samba server running 2.2.8a with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold the user account info. My question is, how many people out there are running samba as their PDC and have implemented a BDC as well? I'm starting to consider about putting up a BDC for safeties sake. Does

Hi, I'm using Samba 4.0.5 and when I use ls -la or getfacl on eg: sysvol/Policies directory Samba dies with this error message: ==> samba/samba.log <== [2013/07/10 07:49:30, 0] ../lib/util/fault.c:72(fault_report) =============================================================== [2013/07/10 07:49:30, 0] ../lib/util/fault.c:73(fault_report) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 3222

Hi Im looking to config a BDC with ldap. It seems the connection with ldap primary server works, but Im confused with the shared folders. I understood when you creates a BDC needs to put the same global information: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOMAIN-PDC security = user enable privileges = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/24 server string =

When I stop the BDC all clients log on to the PDC. And to my confusion when I restarted the BDC today and made a testparm on both PDC and BDC both showd role domain pdc --> Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC Here my smb.confs: PDC: [global] security=user smb ports = 139 logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%L\%U\profile\%U logon drive = S: domain
