similar to: dns on samba, or not

We have an old AD running on windows that we want to retire. It was not set up correctly but it is providing dns under a domain -- call it myschool.edu. Our samba server we set up on the domain we called ad.myschool.edu. We want to have our windows dns forward requests for the new ad.myschool.edu domain to our samba server and windows doesn't seem to want to do so. We have attempted to create

I am using the following syntax to create a new user samba-tool user add user passwd --userou=Faculty --given-name=new --surname=user --gecos=198 --mail-address=newuser at myschool.edu Which gives me the following error: ERROR(<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>): Failed to add user 'user': - unable to parse dn string File

Thanks. I was able to verify through the following command: *samba-tool dns query localhost yourdomain.lan @ ALL -U administrator* -------------- Rowland, Some time ago I had made some questions about dns with samba4. In the topic below you say: "I would suggest you create a sub domain of your main domain (this is recommended anyway) i.e. if your main domain is called

Rowland, Seeing as BIND_DLZ uses the same info in AD as SAMBA_INTERNAL does, > then no, using the internal dns server will not make any difference. Ok.

Hi All, I am looking into the feasability of using Samba/LDAP for domain control across several schools in my area, and would be interested to hear of anyone who has any experience/thoughts on how this could work. The schools share a community learning resource centre, and I am looking for ways for all users to be able to log in at their own schools, and also at the learning resource

Understanding that a samba 4.x ADDC should be run on a an os separate than a samba 4. file server, I was thinking of virtualizing both. Is it common to have a single physcial server with two VM's running samba? If some is there a recommendation on how much hardware to start with and how much virtual hardware to give each VM. I'm wondering about virtual nics and if there may be a

Hello guys, I work at an institution where the domain is institute.edu.br. We have a main dns that answers for the internal and external services that we have. Firstly the staff here configured samba as domain institute.edu.br, but this way it is conflicting in the resolution of internal and external service names, since samba wants to respond for all requests and, even inserting a forward zone,

Rowland, I used the M$ DNS Manager tool and was able to create a delegation from a subdomain to my existing DNS. DNS Manager > Forward Lookup Zones > Right-click on mydomain.edu > New Delegation > ... After this I can open, for example the service "www.mydomain.edu" normally. Where are these entries in AD?

Thank you for the excellent advice. so an lxc container should be a privilege vm. Do containers share the same file system like a BSD chroot jail? Or do they have a virtual disk image like vmware or virtual box? Sorry to be dense here. If you know of any good tutorials on making lxc containers, I'd like to read them. My thinking was that I would make an lxc container for the addc instance

> > Sorry, must have missed that. No problem! :D OK, your dns domain is 'mydomain.edu' and your AD dns domain is 'addc.mydomain.edu', so far so good, but is the AD REALM set to 'ADDC.MYDOMAIN.EDU <http://addc.mydomain.edu/>' ? Yes, my AD REALM is ADDC.MYDOMAIN.EDU Yes, your AD DC should be the authoritative dns server for the AD dns > domain. ok.

Hi All- Please pardon my repost of my usenet article in this list. Previously, I asked if Samba 3.0 could be an Active Directory Domain Controller (ADDC). I have the feeling that the answer is no. If so, then I have this other question: Can I use Samba as an NT4 PDC for making a Windows NT4 domain that would host several M$ Windows XPP client computers as domain clients/members, but have

Thanks for the feedback too Andrew!!! I will analyze and verify the least impactful way to try to solve this problem.

Hi, I am about to spend one week of my holidays with transfering our (about 20 clients) NT4 domain to a AD DC one. We are running a samba NT4 PDC on debian buster which is offering dns (bind9) and dhcp (isc-dhcpd), too. I have an older server where I can play with an AD DC setup. If I see I won't make it in a week, I would like to be able to return as smooth as possible to the present

We would like to use samba 4.x as our ADDC and also as an ldap source for authentication. Google apps can use an ldap server as a source for users and groups. There seems to be plenty of use of AD as a ldap server for this purpose. I wanted to check to see if anyone has used samba 4 running as an ADDC as an authentication server for other services that can consume ldap. -- David Bear mobile:

Someone recently mentioned building a samba addc in a linux container. I'm new to containers and would really love to learn how to do it correctly. Anyone know of how-to's or gotcha's related making samba run in an lxc containter? -- David Bear mobile: (602) 903-6476

Hello, I provisioned an samba AD with the bind_dlz option. So far so good. Followed the samba wiki. I have a DNS for our external access services (website, moodle, etc) and I'm using it as a forwarder to AD but it is not working. In a win7 I configured the AD IP as primary DNS and put it in the domain. When I try to access, for example, "wiki.samba.org" it opens normally, but when

Hai eveyone.   I know about the dns "things" in the past. DNS Islanding problems etc. This one is a bit hijacking the subject : “Horrible BIND9_DLZ DNS breakage after DC replaced and samba-tool domain demote --remove-other-dead-server”     I would like to suggest a smale change in how we suggest to setup samba ADDC dns things, and i do think this help in the setup of the AD

Thanks for the info. Did you create unprivileged containers to run Samba in?
