[Samba] When accessing the User Properties only SIDs are shown instead of real name

[Anantha Raghava]

Hi,

We have Windows 10, 11, Server 2012R2, 2016, 2019 and 2022 as members in 
our network. The issue happens randomly on different machines and 
different Windows OS. Find the smb.conf below.

# Global parameters [global] netbios name = PDC realm = XXXXXLTD.COM 
server role = active directory domain controller workgroup = KTKBANKLTD 
server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, 
winbindd, ntp_signd, kcc, dns, dnsupdate workgroup = XXXXLTD 
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes ldap server require strong auth = No allow 
dns updates = nonsecure tls priority = NORMAL:-VERS-TLS-ALL:+VERS-TLS1.2 
log level = 1 auth_audit:0 auth_json_audit:3 dsdb_json_audit:5 log file 
= /var/log/samba/pdc.log max log size = 1000000000 [sysvol] path = 
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol read only = No [netlogon] path = 
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ktkbankltd.com/scripts read only = No 
Let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks & Regards,

Anantha Raghava H A
