similar to: Samba4 on Ubuntu 18.04

A sort of digest reply... RPvs> Not sure, what is a samba4/adc ??? RPvs> Or do you mean a 'Has anybody joined a Samba DC on Ubuntu 18.04' ? Yes, doing an active directory controller [ADC] not just a workgroup-share. [Though, not "joining" a DC already in existance, but creating a new AD setup.] RPvs> If so, then yes and it was hell What exactly was hellish about it?

So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved Is there some advantage to the gyrations to make netplan work, vs simply disabling resolved and manually defining the IP and DNS server? [I'm not complaining, I'm thankful for all the options - just wanting to have the best handle possible on the reasoning behind one method vs the other.]

I installed two samba ad in replication. One fileserver (domain member) and printserver (domain member). I built a CTDB cluster with it. All are running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS! On the AD Server i got a problem with the internal DNS from samba because systemd-resolver thought it is the DNS boss now. I disabled systemd-resolve (systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service) and mange the

Top posting: So, I do want the five years of LTS in 18.04. {I think - see below.] A substantial reason I'm not using debian/devuan is LTS support. I'm glad to be schooled in that regard, if someone has arguments to make. But I generally want to install a VM/Server/Box for a client and leave it alone as much as possible for as long as possible, and while it still works as initially

>> A substantial reason I'm not using debian/devuan is LTS support. RPvs> Debian has its own version of LTS: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS Yeah, I've seen that. Not a lot of faith in it though. It sounds a lot like "trust me, someone's going to do it." [I know, cheap, quick, well done - and I want all three. Sigh.] If they'd been doing it the last five years and

So, I've done some searching - but search terms are hard to come by, that work, for this query. In short, migrating a RHEL 5.9 server running the back-ported Dovecot 1.0.7 To: Ububtu 12.04 with 2.0.19, I believe. [I'm not against compiling a more recent version if there's some real advantage to doing so. But I'd certainly prefer to stay with the packaged version.] Most users are

So, I'm seeing some very odd behavior. I may have multiple issues - so I'm simply starting holding the thread of the problem and working my way back. So, the root symptom I'm having is that a GPO isn't applying correctly. [Roaming profiles namely.] I have two DC's. I change the GPO on one DC and rsync the update to the other DC. I can see that the files get updated. Yet when

So, some updates. I started that email a couple of hours ago - but suddenly, without changing a thing, the test client/station is suddenly now getting the correct GPO details. Yet, I've not synced the sysvol or done anything to change or update the GPO on either DC. See inline...

That's where I started. So I think we're back to; What items control file/directory creation

I'm working to put up a production FeeeNAS box tied to Samba/AD for authentication for users connecting to the FreeNAS share(s). In joining FreeNAS to the AD domain, one immediately runs into "problems" with TLS/encryption. Samba, in the defaults requires TLS. I could disable TLS security in Samba, but that's probably not a great idea. So, I'll need a key/cert for the
