Migration

Samba and DNS

DNS Administration

Samba and LDAP

Samba as PDC

net rpc group addmem  "Domain Users" someuser

nt 4.0 reskit to manage domain users!!

cpau.exe to run stuff as other user

remember to add option netbios-name-servers to dhcpd.conf

High Availability

HOWTO

Automatically create home directory

On Ubuntu:

pam-auth-update --enable mkhomedir

Rename linux domain member

https://marc.info/?l=smb-clients&m=121764337631413

net ads leave -U administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM

Next, change the netbios name value in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, e.g.

netbios name = <NEW NAME>

Restart the samba and winbind daemons

/etc/init.d/smb restart && /etc/init.d/winbind restart

Finally, you rejoin it to the domain

net ads join -U administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM

Make sure everything OK.

net ads testjoin
getent passwd
getent group

Check winbind

wbinfo -t
wbinfo  -u

Commands and tools

net

Chapter 13. Remote and Local Management: The Net Command

testparm

pdbedit

pdbedit -L

smbmount

mount -t smbfs -o username=someuser //servername/sharename /mnt/sharename/

or in fstab:

//servername/sharename /mountpoint cifs noauto,username=foobar 0 0

If you get very vague warnings on debian this means you didn't install one of many smb* packages, probably smbfs

smbclient

smbstatus

smbtree

nmblookup

nmblookup -M domainname

wins

dfree

to show correct disk space/free

gsambad too manage samba users

tdbtool

tdbbackup

Windows commands

(if not found, install NT 4.0 Resource Kit)

nltest

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/158148

gpresult

gpedit

FAQ

Cannot update roaming profile

Usually because a file is in use, check out

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs

Dump/check configuration

testparm

Windows complaining about wrong rights on profile

No security tab in Explorer

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/07/19/missing-or-no-security-tab-found-in-windows-xp-professional/

Windows did not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security

profile acls = yes

Can't join domain

close all shares log in to windows, no anonymous 'login'

on access virus scanning

Windows cannot connect to the domain, etc..

Switch to workgroup, set system name first, reboot, join domain again, reboot.

win2k: Error joining domain: User name could not be found

means samba couldn't find MACHINE name, probably a failing add machine script? also check /var/log/samba/log.machinename for Get_Pwnam and "add machine"

create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users

we can only guess

Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup

Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name for the workgroup
find_domain_master_name_query_fail

synching mess

turn off csc policy

CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5

add sec=ntlm to options

Find samba config file

smbd -b | grep "CONFIGFILE"

reload samba config

smbcontrol smbd reload-config

or all of them:

smbcontrol all reload-config

Can't find pid for destination 'reload-config'

You were using wrong syntax

Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain FOO - The object was not found.

start with checking dns

check_account: Failed to find local account with UID

Check for winbind plugins and presence in nsswitch.conf
