Samba 4 from internal DNS to named and GPOs issue

[admin at blackpenguin.org]

Hi andrew,

It is the only dc and it's causing issues. I did not have the sysvol 
issues until I setup one gpo - the first one, then the files went out of 
sync. If there is only one dc, how do I sync? To make things clear, I 
provisioned a brand new samba, I created 2 users, joined 3 machines to 
it and started a GPO and it's broken. Like I mentioned before, the GPO 
contains restrictions to control panel, shutdown and that's about it.

Also in the howto, it is presented that it will share the printers, but 
unless I install the printer in CUPS, it will not show up, no even the 
printers shares is set in smb.conf, the share doesn't appear, but it 
picks the printer right from cups.
