Is there any trick to join and use Windows 8/8.1 with Samba 4 (4.1.6)?
- by tenshimsm
It seems that Samba doesn't like at all. I've followed various tutorials and I can't get Windows 8 to work properly with a Ubuntu Server as domain controller. This week i've downloaded ubuntu 14.04 lts and set a fast domain configuration. As usual all other Windows version (XP and 7) work but the newest M$ nightmare doesn't. In this try it doesn't even join the domain, keeps saying the my username or password are wrong.
My /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
realm = DOMAIN.LAN
netbios name = DOM
server role = active directory domain controller
dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/domain.lan/scripts
read only = No
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
[test]
directory mode = 0750
path = /SHARES/test
read only = no
Does anyone have a tutorial that really works? Because I've tried many, each one with different configurations that works only with the people that made them.
And is there a way to import my old AD users, computers and ID in a way that I won't need to rejoin all computers?
