[Samba] Can't join Windows 10 to classic domain

Wed May 30 19:26:10 UTC 2018

Thanks very much for all the helpful info.
It does look like a setting has been changed to force Windows 10 to
only look for AD domains.
As a matter of interest, I rolled Windows 10 back to 1709, and have
encountered a different problem.  This time, it seems to let me join
the domain (I got the login box, and the welcome message saying that
the PC had joined the domain).  However, after that, certain actions
(such as opening the "add users" screen) seemed to slow down.  When I
tried to add a new domain user in Windows it came up with a message
saying it couldn't contact the domain.  It looks like 1709 is closer
to working, but I'm not sure what might be causing the problem with
adding users etc.  Is there a known fix for this?
If not, I'll need to look at going back to 1703.  From what you say,
that will work, but it's a question of when an update might come down
to the PC, and stop it working.  However, when you say that
"authentication thru netbios resolution seems to get grandfathered in
provided the domain is joined prior to the latest upgrade" do you mean
that if I connect a 1703 PC to the Samba NT4 domain, everything will
continue to work through the 1709 and 1803 updates?  I thought I'd
read something which indicated that this might not be the case.
I have a bunch of new Windows 10 PCs to install, so, as ever, I'm
under a bit of pressure to get things working!  I've not carried out a
Classic Upgrade of Samba before, nor seen a Samba AD, and it is a live
environment which requires minimal downtime or disruption.  A previous
Samba upgrade between major versions and to a different server and
operating system required me to carry out thorough planning and
testing to ensure things like trust relationships etc. didn't get
broken.  I suspect the Classic Upgrade might present a few problems,
especially as the documentation says it's not possible to rollback if
things don't work!  Perhaps the way forward is to look at setting up
the new machines with 1703, and then plan for a big upgrade of Samba.

It can be installed and it still won't authenticate.
Something has been changed to force authentication to
AD/DNS either solely or as a first step.  The translation
of the netbios name never happens even if the computer
can resolve the name.

Given that the authentication thru netbios resolution
seems to get grandfathered in provided the domain is
joined prior to the latest upgrade, it would seem there
is a tweak that can applied, but who knows.
