similar to: (Samba 4) Recreate AD

Actually I am using a single-service VM, but blowing away a VM just because I want to demote/promote feels like overkill. For step 3, since I’m running from source, does that change anything? re: step 4 I plan to edit the existing /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf and krb5.conf files, but if you think this is a bad idea then I’ll rebuild them.

Hi, Using VM helps: you can detroy them then re-create them easily. Looks like you are not using them... How I proceed: 1° stop samba 2° rm -rf /var/lib/samba (where private and sysvol directories are) 3° force reinstall of packages, one only is needed to recreate /var/lib/samba and its content (samba-common with my version of Samba). 4° you could also remove /etc/samba/smb.conf and

Thank you for hint to this VBS script. In fact I alraedy saw it but I'm not too confident in my VB knowledge, so I didn't use that script, prefering rely on Samba command and shell scripts to work around issues. You spoke about SOA record which wasn't changed, same here. There is another DNS record I had to change: _ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.samba.domain.tld. I spoke about removing

Hi, I played with demote recently on a test AD domain composed with Samba version 4.3.0 and 4.3.1. I demoted all version 4.3.0. I was facing same issue as you. I written long mails here to explain how I managed that. My DNS looks clear now. Today I played with AD sites and I found in default sites all demoted DC. They weren't removed from DNS DB nor here. For now I have no idea how to get

Hi, I demoted my PDC (DC1) forcefully, because replication (among others) wasn't working anymore due to hard disk failure and I was afraid of spending a lot of time on nothing. With DC1 offline I seized the FSMO roles on DC2 (4.2.5), restarted Samba, and found errors in the samba log due to the missing DC1. I removed the two DNS entries created according to this site:

Hai, but dont forget that if you use samba also as print server you need to backup the /var/lib/samba/drivers en printing also. ( and in my case a different folder. ) In /var/cache/samba is the file printer_list.tdb I dont think that recreated, and if it is, you probely will loose the printer settings. I'll have to look that up. Maybe its an option to let the backup scrip detect if it

Besides, obviously, the potential shared data on file servers, can't you just use the script that is introduced for backing up DCs? At least if the complete Samba installation is in "/usr/local/samba"... https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC Am 02.12.2015 um 20:06 schrieb Marc Muehlfeld: > Hello James, > > Am 02.12.2015 um 15:57 schrieb

I want to backup my Samba AD. I have found and read the following: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC The guide refers to a script in the source however I have installed straight from the package manager. Is there a script/guide available that does not need the source?

Hello, I notice the script expects to have $PATH include '/usr/local/samba/bin'. Script will fail if it can't find tdbbackup. It was obvious to me but others may stumble. Maybe someone could add under the 'About the samba_backup script' section. "/This requires that your whole samba installation is on one place (like /usr/local/samba/). This script assumes you

Hello guys I have two questions. 1 - I installed Samba 4 in debian 8 via apt and watched the referenced backup script that link https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC does not exist in Samba installed via apt. How do I bacxkup the Samba4 AD installed by apt? 2 - In another client installed in order compiled via source code in debian 8, everything working, but the

Hi, I plan to install one Samba4 DC on a virtual machine to provide services for less than 50 users: - centralized authentication on 2 or 3 Linux servers - LDAP authentication on an ownCloud server - I do not think that I will join Windows computers to the domain, but maybe one day. I know it is better to install more than one DC to have replication, but in a so small setup, would it be

Hi there, I'm running rsync on an nslu2 (using nslu2-linux) and it keeps failing with return code 13. The man page doesn't give a good description of what this means ("Errors with program diagnostics") so could someone give me a clue. as to what diagnostics rsync is running and reasons why they might be failing? The only magic to note is the machine only has 32MB of ram so low

As noted on my blog and at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/shells/ I''ve made available a DTrace provider for the Bourne shell. Before anyone starts yelling at me for not starting with another shell, read the blog I made explaining why we started with shell (link on the community page referenced above). For /bin/sh, I''ve put up something akin to a chapter in
