As far as I know there are many small/medium LANs where NetBios features such as neighborhood, folders, printers sharing using NetBios names resolving and others are still used. In my opinion It

I've just deployed an AD DC fileserver with Samba4 but the server itself is not available when browsing network computers from a Windows PC. Is it because of this [1][2] or did I misconfigure it? Thanks my config: # Global parameters [global] netbios name = FILESERVER realm = WDC.MYDOMAIN.IT server role = active directory domain controller server services =

Hi all, it seems that "NT4 style domain support" in windows 10 1803 is broken by accident.

There is only a single WINS server on the network (as it has been since samba 2.02 or earlier). The WINS server is 192.168.6.14. The log message that is received for example

Now, I'm using netdata

Hello Is there a simple way on Samba to solve Err 53 when connecting from Windows10 to a guest-enabled server, so I don't have to tweak Windows clients? =================== [global] ??????? bind interfaces only = Yes ??????? interfaces = 192.168.0.15/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 ??????? domain master = Yes ??????? os level = 255 ??????? preferred master = Yes ??????? load
