[Samba] Redirected folders and mental health

2013-08-14 Thread Mark Fox
We are very close to being comfortable enough with Samba4 to begin moving it into production. We've got a PDC and AD running, machines can join the domain, authentication works, but we're having some fun with profiles. We're running 4.0.5 via the Sernet PPA on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Workstations are Win

Hi, After years of Samba 3 working great, we are trying to move a testing Samba 4 AD system into production and have been making progress, but keep hitting show stoppers. (For example, roaming profiles with redirected folders usually work for most users. However, some users consistently can't see

[Samba] Removing password complexity requirements under Samba4

2013-08-09 Thread Mark Fox
We had problems removing password complexity, and I noticed a lot of confusion on the list about exactly this topic. So I thought I would post our success. We're talking about a Samba4 PDC/AD here. Once we got Samba installed and provisioned, we used samba-tool from the command-line on the Samba b

[Samba] Domain controller could not be contacted

2011-02-22 Thread Mark Fox
I recently upgrade a Samba server, that was happily acting as a PDC for a school, from 3.2 to 3.4.7. This was done via an upgrade to Ubuntu (from 9.04 to 10.04LTS). Of course, the Ubuntu upgrade caused a bunch of issues, most of which were managed without undue stress. The remaining issues are with

[Samba] Multiple VLAN/subnet recommendations

2010-07-10 Thread Mark Fox
We're using Samba in several schools. We generally have a single Samba server acting as a domain controller in each school. Until recently, this has worked very well. The number of workstations on our school networks has been steadily growing. Among other things, this has convinced us to split some

Why would NTConfig.POL be ignored? I've got an Ubuntu server running a Samba (3.3.2) PDC. I've created NTConfig.POL as per www.pcc-services.com (on a Windows XP Pro machine, for a Windows XP Pro machine), and stuck it in the netlogon share, but it doesn't go. The XP machine can get at the netlogo
