Hello, I'm wondering if there's a plan for including the possibility of modifying user attributes (must-change-at_next-login, profile-path, home-drive, home-directory, etc)? For the moment, it seems the only way to do this is when the user is created (samba-tool newuser) or by doing so via 'administrative tools' via a Windows machine. Thank You! -- Luc Lalonde, analyste

Hello Folks, I'm trying to get a logon script to execute via a GPO with Samba 4.0.5. I used the Group Policy Editor that came with the Administration tools and linked a simple 'logon.bat' batch file to automatically mount a network share for a given 'OU=students'. When I log in with a user that's in this container, it does not seem to execute the login script. Anyone

Hello Folks, I've successfully created a GPO for user logon scripts with Samba4... However, the 'SYSVOL\domain\Policies' folder and contents is not replicated to the other DC's. Is this normal? It is working, but it seems that this is a 'single point of failure' for 'logon' scripts. Thank You! -- Luc Lalonde, analyste

Hello Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

Hello Folks, This directive works with Samba3 but does not seem to work with Samba-4.0.5: winbind use default domain = Yes I want to get a username that does not contain the domain (GIGL). Instead here's what I get: [root at roquefort ~]# getent passwd | grep GIGL GIGL\Administrator:*:0:100::/usagers/%U:/bin/bash GIGL\Guest:*:3000002:3000003::/usagers/%U:/bin/bash

Hello Andrew, I'm finally diving into this project... First off, my sysadmin stuff is mostly in Perl. So my Python is rudimentary at best. Here we go anyway... I've looked at the 'upgrade.py' but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to the Samba4 passwd database. In the script I see these lines: ####################################################### # Connect to

Hello Luc, thanks for your answer. If I understand you correctly than you are using samba4 as windows domaincontroller and you do not have another Windows DC? So after all you have exactly one Kerberos Server that is part of the samba4 server?

The first sentence says that default schema has changed from 2008R2 (schema 47) to 2012R2 (schema 69). This does not mean that we're now at Windows 2012R2 functional level by default???

Hello, I've just upgraded to 4.9.6  and can't seem to be able to use the 'offline' backup?   It seems that the only options are:  online, rename, and backup. Can someone confirm this?   I plan to get to migrating to 4.10.2, but I'm doing it incrementally:   v4.7.6  -> v4.8.11 -> v4.9.6 -> v4.10.2 Before going to the v4.10.2, I want to backup my AD database using

Hello Folks, I see from the documentation that it is possible to use BIND9 as a drop-in replacement for the internal SAMBA4 DNS service... However, I would like to know if I can keep the BIND9 DNS server on a seperate server from de one that SAMBA4 is running on (AD DC). If this is possible, how would one go about achieving this? I've got an existing DNS infrastructure that I do not

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification!??

The user exists in AD: - I can see the user using 'wbinfo', 'samba-tool user list' - I can add the user to a group with 'Active Directory Users and Computers' in Windows 2008R2 - It's seems impossible to use 'samba-tool group addmembers foogroup foouser' I looked at the user's attributes but can't find anything different from any other user that

This is the case for this user too... Could it be that Samba is trying to work with the old SID???

Hello Folks, There seems to be contradicting sentences in the release notes for 4.11.0RC1: Default schema updated to 2012_R2 --------------------------------- Default AD schema changed from 2008_R2 to 2012_R2. 2012_R2 functional level is not yet available. Older schemas can be used by provisioning with the '--base-schema' argument. Existing installations can be updated with the

For the moment, Samba4 cannot participate as DC with Windows 2019 servers (unless you downgrade to schema 47, the one that comes with Windows 2008R2): https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/AD_Schema_Version_Support The developers are working on Windows 2012R2 support.   So for now, anything above 2008R2 is experimental.

Hello folks, We have some machines that have updated to the Windows 10 anniversary update (1607) that are having roaming profile sync problems. Before I search the event logs or provide details, has anyone experience profile sync wierdness? They changed the profile version again... in 1511 it is version 5, in 1607 it is now version 6.

Hello Folks, We just moved our Samba file server from version 3.6.3 to 4.2.10 (the lastest updates for CentOS 7.2). Our Windows clients are working well, but we are unable to use it for our Mac clients (Yosemite). The clients are configured to use their home directories from this file server. Here's the config: [global] workgroup = BLAH.COM netbios name = FILESERVER
