Several people have been asking for updated instructions on using
Samba4 as a replicating domain controller.
Andrew and I have been working did a major revision of the current
Samba4 HOTO page, and it is now ready for people to test:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
We have tested all aspects of the HOWTO to ensure they are working
with the current git master tree, and we have added a number of
sections on how to enable automatic updates of dynamic DNS entries for
Samba as a DC.
The HOWTO covers:
- installing Samba4 as a domain controller
- provisioning Samba
- adding shares
- configuring DNS and kerberos
- configuring dynamic DNS updates
- joining Windows machines to the Samba domain
- managing your Samba domain from Windows
- setting up Organizational Units on your Samba DC
- setting up and applying Group Policies on your Samba DC
We have also created a new HOWTO which focuses on joining a Samba4 DC
as an additional DC in an existing Windows or Samba domain. That new
HOWTO is here:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4_joining_a_domain
Some of the features in this HOWTO are very new. In fact, some of the
features will only work if you have a version of Samba4 from today. So
update your git trees, and get testing!
Cheers, Tridge
