similar to: Transfer file server to new DC

Hi all, So we have a single AD-DC master, and I'm trying to join a fresh new DC (DOMAIN-ad.DOMAIN.intranet, 192.168.0.11) to the master (ad.DOMAIN.intranet, 192.168.0.17), and I'm using the HOWTO here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory and I've hit a problem in the section "Built-in User & Group ID Mappings" - when

Hi all, I've decided to completely replace an old AD with a fresh, brand new one - the only thing linking the two is that I've transferred the user profiles & home folders over to the new one and I'm testing this configuration by disconnecting one of the Windows 10 computers from the old AD and then connecting it to the new AD. Old AD: Name - ad.domain.intranet IP -

Thanks Rowland, OK, sorry about this... Note that the "Old AD" has some errors in their config files, but everything sort of work so I'm not going to fix those errors - my concern is obviously just the "New AD".  I've not set up printing in the new AD yet as it doesn't work in the old one anyway, and that's a discussion in a future thread.  Note

Hello all, Have joined a new DC to an existing active directory consisting of a sole DC.  So, we now have two domain controllers, the original being ad.DOMAIN.intranet (192.168.0.17), and the new one being DOMAIN-ad.DOMAIN.intranet (192.168.0.11).  I want the new DC to become the FSMO role owner, so I followed the instructions here -

Thanks again Rowland for getting back to me.  Here's my comments below: >> /etc/hosts: >> 127.0.0.1       localhost >> 192.168.0.17    ad.domain.intranet ad >> 192.168.0.21    domain-ad.domain.intranet     domain-ad > > Remove the line above, this is the old AD domain and shouldn't have > anything pointing to the new one. Have deleted this line.

Hi all, We're a small charity and we've got a working and stable Debian 9 AD system using one Samba server (version 4.9.5-Debian) and 4 x Windows 10 Pro clients.? The server has two shared folders - "Profiles" for roaming profiles and "users" for user's home directories. We've just got delivery of two donated computers, and we got 2 new staff members.? I

Hello all, I've got a simple active directory server set-up with 5 computers and about 5 users which works reasonably well, but recently, when an user changes to a different computer, it takes about a hour for the user to log in.  However, future log-ins on the same computer is pretty much instant, but the exact same problems occurs when the user changes computers - even to one

Hi all, An user queried whether the error "Your profile was not synchronised with the server" was a big problem, so I had a look into it.? This only happens on one computer, all non-admin users has this problem, the Samba admin account don't have this problem.? Looking into the windows error log, we get plenty of messages of the below:

Just an update - I've double checked the other donated computer - it works perfectly fine, roaming profiles gets written to the server and no error message. So in fact, it's just one of

Hi all, Due to a security breach at my office recently, we need to log successful / failed log-ins.? I've put in "log level = 3" in smb.conf on our active directory domain controller which seems to log what we need, however this is generating massive log files, due to it logging every file opening/closing by all users.? How do I log successful/failed log-ins without having to

Hi all, So I've set up a new Samba server for our small office.  As it's completely separate to the old one, I had to use rsync to transfer files over to the new server.  Unsurprisingly, the permissions on the freshly transferred files are incorrect - what's the best way to reset permissions? Many thanks! Cheers - Piers

Hello, I'm aiming to migrate a few Windows 2000 Server boxes to Linux with Samba and I would like to check what Samba can do before actually comitting myself to this idea. There are a few servers, all located in different locations, connected to one central server. The remote servers contains files only, and the central server controls internet access and has Exchange installed on.

Rowland, Thank you so much for replying!  I'm not exactly sure of the issues, but it includes very slow log-in times (>30 minutes if I move to another computer I've not used previously) and the KDC doesn't work.  I've tried joining the two servers, but it stopped the new one from working entirely, and I had to wipe the server and start again.  I've now spent some time

Rowland, Thanks for your response.  That's the issue, I'm not sure what other details I can give that would be helpful in this situation!  How do I identify who owns what and how do I propogate this over?  I'm aware how to do chmod/chown and find out the uid for Linux users, but I'm not sure how it works for Samba - does Samba use the same uid as Linux users, or does Samba

Hello all, We're running a Samba AD DC and we want to move to a new server. The old server is slightly misconfigured and have some issues, and the new server has already been set up freshly set up with no issues and everything working fine.  I need to move users, groups & passwords from the old server to the new one without moving configuration and retaining the old issues, am hoping

There's a note at the top of that document: "Samba only supports logging of succeeded authorization events." Does that mean that it won't log authentication events at all? Because that's implied. I think it would be better, assuming it will log auth events, to say; "Samba only supports logging of *successful* authorization events, not unsuccessful. Samba also supports
