Samba 4 creating HOSTS/Machine accounts and exporting keytab without Samba on Unix/Linux machines

[Trever L. Adams]

Hello Everyone,

I have several machines where Samba would be unnecessary overhead.
However, I am needing machine accounts in my AD (Samba 4). It seems that
there should be a way to create a machine account and export a keytab to
be used on the Linux/Unix machines.

The problem, I know how to create an account in Windows tools. However,
I do not know how to set the password (unless the standard user password
setting tools in samba-tool works). Also, I cannot get samba-tool
machinepw to export the password of any machine but the AD server.

Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Trever Adams
