Hi, Is there a way to re-initialize/re-provision DNS? I have a working domain with 100+ users and computers etc.. I want to preserve all those users, settings and group policies etc, only start the DNS part from scratch. Why? I've been having some (mysterious) issues with Samba 4 DNS since.. well.. I suppose since I started with 4.0.6 (migrated from Samba 3.x) but from a users' point of

Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you are using biometric devices (eg: a fingerprint reader) or smartcards with Samba4 for network logon. Either as a replacement for a password or 'extra' as a 2nd factor. Would be interested in hearing experiences regarding this. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bram. -- Bram Matthys Software developer/IT consultant

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all, What would be the recommended way to remove an old offline DC from Samba4? I searched in samba-tool for a way to do this, but didn't find any. Tried using the Windows tools to manage AD Users & Computers -> Domain Controllers -> The DC & then hit delete, however this gives an error 'cannot find specified module'.

Hi, I hope some of you have been in a similar situation and can shed some light on this: I have a VPN connection to a Samba 4.1.4 server and when I use Word 2010 on a W7 client to open an existing file I often get the following error: "document.docx has been locked for editing by another user." I should clarify that the document is not in use by anyone (confirmed by smbstatus), and

Hi, My Samba 4.1.x server is connected to two networks, one in the 192.168.* range (wired) and one in the 10.* range (wifi). The clients on either network normally cannot reach each other. I noticed Samba hands out (eg: for dcname.company.net) it's IP's from both ranges to clients on both sides. So the 192.168.* clients get two A records: 192.168.1.1 & 10.0.0.2. I noticed that,

Hi, After our upgrade from Samba 3.x to 4.1.6 we are having major performance issues. Today, I've been able to nail it down to a simple test case. What strikes me is that Windows XP takes about 25 seconds for one job, while it only costs 3 seconds on Windows 7. I have two tests: 1000 files of 10k each (total ~10Mb): * Linux on localhost or a remote host (1GE or 10GE): 5.5 seconds *

G'day Guys, Sorry for the delay. I've had the log level of samba at 5 for a while now. Nothing interesting seems to be coming from the samba log. Increasing the bind logs, to level 5, shows nothing different. I get the same two warnings: 09-Oct-2015 12:46:01.421 database: warning: samba_dlz: Ignoring duplicate zone 'samba4.scem.westernsydney.edu.au' from

Hai, Just an suggestion. Since now its known what is missing/wrong. Remove this server from the domain and re-add it. But use the samba 4.9.11 or 4.10.6 now. We verified almost all other settings on the server thats ok, so.. Dont remove/delete the complete server. Only the samba data. ! And make a backup of these. Stop samba Cleanup /var/lib/samba/ ( remove the content from the folders,

Hello,      I'm using the internal DNS server and when running the command 'samba-tool dns serverinfo dc1 -U administrator' I get the following output. @dc1:~# samba-tool dns serverinfo dc1.domain.local -U administrator Password for [DOMAIN\administrator]:   dwVersion                   : 0xece0205   fBootMethod                 : DNS_BOOT_METHOD_DIRECTORY

Good Afternoon, I successfully joined an Ubuntu 14.04 server with Samba 4.1.9 to my existing domain. I want this server to become my Master, but before I attempt to seize roles, I have been double and triple checking all of the configuration files and DNS entries. I noticed that this server's dns serverinfo differs from the other three servers. For it's aipServerAddrs and aipListenAddrs,

For some reason, the provision picked up 2 network IP addresses in my VM. Snipped output below... root at dc1.example.com ~ $ (screen) samba-tool dns serverinfo dc1 dwVersion : 0xece0205 fBootMethod : DNS_BOOT_METHOD_DIRECTORY fAdminConfigured : FALSE fAllowUpdate : TRUE fDsAvailable : TRUE
