I believe it's currently best to have a Samba 3 member server joined to the Samba 4 domain for file serving rather than doing the file serving from Samba 4. Of course I don't really see how joining Samba 4 to the domain will help get Samba 3 working :) Perhaps you should provide more details on what is going wrong with Samba 3 <-> Win2k8r2. > By the way, successful install on ubuntu 10.04 x64 server that formally had > samba 3 and winbind on it that were installed from aptitude. Do you mean that you installed Samba 4 from the Ubuntu repositories? If so, rather install from Git or perhaps Alpha 14 as per the Samba 4 HOWTO. > Any help would be appreciated.
