I have a Centos 6.5 x86_64 kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1 domain server with samba
3.6.9-167 already active. Window 7/XP join to domain regurarly but windows
8 professional fails. Searching in google the problem is "." (dot) in the
domain's name, indeed with the domain name "*domain*" (without* .local*)
windows8 joint to domain. How can i resolve the problem? Have you an idea?



Test



1. In Windows8 I modify registry:



*"DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000 *

"*DomainCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001 *

2. SecPol.msc


*Select Local Policies>Security Options>Network Security: LAN Manager
authorization Level Double click and change to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2
session security if .....*





Configuration:



Smb.conf



[global]

        netbios name = dominio

        workgroup = domain.local

        server string = TEST PDC SERVER

        passdb backend = tdbsam

        log level = 5

        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

        max log size = 1000

        #cups options = raw

        os level = 64

        preferred master = yes

        domain master = yes

        local master = yes

        security = user

        domain logons = yes

        logon script = netlogon.bat

        logon path =

        logon home =

        add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u

        delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u

        add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g

        delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g

        add user to group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -A %u %g

        delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -R %u %g

        add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d
/var/lib/nobody %u

        #include = /etc/samba/include/%u.conf

        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_KEEPALIVE_

        encrypt passwords = yes

        wins support = yes
        #client max protocol = SMB2
