Hi, Continuing on the same subject, the VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS are not working. for example, I want to have the date & time attached to the samba log file. Hence I modified the smb.conf log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%T.log The file with name "samba.%T.log" gets created in /var/log/samba folder and %T will not get substituted with current date & time. I request for your

Hello, I have implemented Samba as Active Directory Domain Controller with Version 4.6.3 on CentOS 7.3, el-514. We have 4 domain controllers named as DC1, DC2, DC3 and DC4. DC1 & 2 are in one location and DC3 & 4 are in a different location. DNS is SAMBA INTERNAL. All 4 servers are properly synchronizing and even GPO updates are working properly with rsync process. However, off late

Hi, Can we export the samba audit logs (Authentication & Authorisation Logs) to Windows Event Viewer? I am trying to export the authentication & authorisation logs to a Windows Server to be shown in Windows Event Viewer. I read the link - https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Event_Logging. But couldn't follow much. Can someone throw more light on the procedure, if it is possible? --

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices. >From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to handle mongrel log rotation. Fine, I''m sold on that. The advice I''m seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this. So my question is, what are people using? What''s working well? Simple bash scripts or

Hi, I have installed the Samba AD DC Version 4.6.3 and we are trying to enable Event Logging. We have followed the procedure given in https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Event_Logging. But I am unable to get the Samba AD DC to write the events into Log. Also I am not able to figure out where the directory and files are created. We need to generate audit logs of Users and AD DC administrator

How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting? Thanks! jlc

Hi all, I have a problem with logrotate and I don't know why.

Hello James, Thanks for your quick response. Find attached smb.conf file from DC1 and DC2. Also attached the screen shot of the event viewer from the workstation. At the moment, we have brought down the DC3 and DC4 in another location and observed that DC2 is unable to replicate get the information from DC1 or send the information to DC1. It appears replication is working in background but

Hi, Last evening we upgraded one of our 4 Domain Controllers from 4.6.5 to 4.7.1 and all of a sudden the DNS resolution issue started. We are using BIND9_DLZ back end. This server we had upgraded has all 7 FSMO Roles. Some time back we upgraded the other 3 servers from version 4.6.5 to 4.7.1 and there was no issue at all. I have also observed a very peculiar behaviour that is all of a

Can anyone point out to me where the

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

Hi, Thanks for clarification. However, we held back from implementing your suggestion and observed that after about 40 odd hours from the initial publishing of the policies, all clients connecting to any of the Domain Controllers started to get the policies. No client was throwing any error while applying the policies from any of the 4 Domain Controllers. Does it mean that

Hai, Im joining this one if you dont mind. My setup: Debian 8 (Jessie) ADDC's : samba 4.6.6 Member with profiles : samba 4.6.6 This problem is here seen also on a Windows7 Pro 64bit client. The client here, is related to the user profile, this one is having a corrupted user profile in my case. Due to this, my GPO fails and i see event id: 4098 , error code : 0x8007000E insufficions

Hello Andrew, From the day one, we set the log level to 3. Log size is really huge. However, I did not see some thing very interesting and related to this error. It is all to do with user login, information, etc. Should I have to increase the log level to get more info? One thing we noticed. When we restart the samba-ad-dc service, it allows us to add new users, add new computers to domain,

Hello Andrew & Louis, Yesterday by around 1:30 PM we had the same issue. Samba AD kicked all of us out and RSAT did not connect to any domain controllers. /*Incidentally the RSAT that caused this error was running on Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit edition.*/ When I restarted the samba-ad-dc service, all started working well again. However, as mentioned again, I could not trace the error
