similar to: Name resolution for home network?

Hello all, wsdd might also be an alternative: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd Your suggestions of using DNS will also work but will be more work to set up initially.

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 =

So, curiously, it *appears* the following may have sped up the mount: - Manually modified the smb.conf file, where the following changes were made: Added: - client NTLMv2 auth = yes - client min protocol = SMB2_02 - From a Linux client, performed a cifs mount, forcing the following parameters (ntlmssp,vers=3.0) Unfortunately, connections from a

Actually, I made it work by adding the ?min server protocol = NT1? on the virtual dedicated server. So I guess that this will solve our dilemma (unless I missed something). In any case, one of the robots now have access to the new server. Will try the second one as soon as I get a chance (they are busy bending steel ;:) ) Anders > On 11 Apr 2024, at 14:55, Rowland Penny via samba <samba

Hello, Thank you ! I add server min protocol = SMB2_02 to smb.cnf All clients are now using SMB2_10 as minimum protocol version May you indicate me the difference between "client min protocol" and "server min protocol" ? "server min protocol" is to use on a domain member "client min protocol" is to use in which case ? Should I also set client min

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
